Sasha Bezzubov: Wildfire January 30, 2010

This will be the first public exhibition of photographs from Bezzubov's recent book by the same name, published by Nazraeli Press. In the 'Wildfire' series Bezzubov focuses on the devastation wrought by wildfires on the American west, with dramatic large-scale landscapes containing charred, burned-out forests, houses and neighborhoods. In one image a spiral staircase rises skyward out of the wreckage, the last remnant of a once standing home. Other photographs in this series focus on the damage inflicted on nature, the pine forests, and whole mountainsides reduced to ashes.
