This catalogue presents Paglen's earlier series of photographs, together with his sculptures and works with artificial intelligence. The curator and author, John P. Jacob, explores Paglen's pictures showing things that we are not supposed to see, regarded by Paglen as symptomatic of our times. Inspired by the landscape tradition, the artist captures the same horizon seen by American photographers Timothy O’Sullivan and Ansel Adams, but surveillance infrastructure is highlighted in Paglen's photographs. Trevor Paglen's aim is to help us better see the particular times we are living and imagine alternative futures.
