Remains to Be Seen

Photographs by Travis Fox

Posted

Wired Gallery is pleased to announce the next 1-Wall Show featuring photographs by Krumville-based renowned photojournalist Travis Fox. The show is on view from Saturday April 17 to Sunday May 2, 2021.

The show consists of eight 20”x30” photographs selected from Fox’s recently-published book Remains to Be Seen (Daylight, 2020). The images explore a disappearing but still tangible American landscape, from the Rust Belt towns of the Midwest to the Borscht Belt resorts of the Catskill Mountains. Using aerial photography, Fox finds patterns in former industrial sites and abandoned neighborhoods that would be undetectable from the ground. His pictures present a visual record of old and debilitating problems, from institutionalized racism to environmental destruction.

On Sunday, April 25, 4:00-5:00 pm, there will be an Artist Talk on Zoom with Travis Fox. The talk will be moderated by Emmy award-winning video producer and High Falls resident Susan Farkas. To register to the talk, please email a request to thewiredgallery@gmail.com.

 Fox says, “I’m excited to have these photographs exhibited in High Falls, near to where I have lived in Krumville for the past eight years. This is the area where I learned to fly a drone and where this project began six years ago. Seeking nearby safe but interesting areas to fly over, I was immediately drawn to abandoned Borscht-Belt resorts in the Catskills. It was some of those first images from the Pines resort in Fallsburg that was the seed that eventually grew into my book.”
