Author: Lopez-Jensen, Matthew
The debut photobook 'The Work and the Water: Labor and Landscapes' along the Erie Canal by Matthew López-Jensen is a work of environmental social practice centring the unseen labour required to keep the Erie Canal, a 524-mile inland waterway in upstate New York, operational. Over 40 photographs are accompanied by commentary from the more than 400 employees who work on the canal year-round, often out of view and in hazardous conditions. As the first artist-in-residence with the canal in its 200-year history, López-Jensen visited every lock in the system from Buffalo to Albany, from Whitehall to Seneca Falls. The archive of images he created helps communicate the potentials of the canal as a site for environmental restoration while also conveying the scale of this colossal piece of infrastructure that transformed the region in ways that are still felt today.
ISBN 9781941753774. Inventory Press. pb. 96 pages. 60 colour ills. 22.9 x 17.1 cm.
