VICTORIA SAMBUNARIS:
TAXONOMY OF A LANDSCAPE
Essay by Natasha Egan, short story by Barry Lopez
Photographs by Victoria Sambunaris
ABOUT THE BOOK
For more than a decade, Victoria Sambunaris has traversed the
United States equipped with a 5 x 7 wooden field camera, sheets
of color negative film, and an “unrelenting curiosity to understand
the American landscape and our place in it.”
There are two volumes included in this first book on Sambunaris’
work. Volume 1 contains a full retrospective selection of images
from 2000 to 2013. Volume 2 is a photo documentation of the artist’s
collected ephemera that she gathers on her travels, including
books on geology and history, maps, artifacts such as mineral
specimens, journals, road logs, as well as her small photographic
sketches. There is also an essay from MOCP Director Natasha
Egan, a reprinted short story by Barry Lopez titled “The Mappist,”
and a full chronology of the artist’s career.
