James Balog at the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego

We are delighted to announce that James Balog: Photographs from the Anthropocene will open this Saturday, September 16 at the Museum of Photographic Arts / San Diego Museum of Art, in California. The exhibition presents photographs that describe both the ancient cyclical patterns of the earth’s life forms and the impact of human activity on those forms and cycles. For four decades, Balog has studied ancient cultural assumptions about the relationship between humans and the rest of nature. Through innovative imagery, his projects interpret significant aspects of what has changed, what has survived, and what changes are projected for the future. His photographs reveal nature’s dazzling beauty as well as its capacity for destruction.
