Karin Apollonina Müller has an interesting project entitled On Edge, which is described as an interest in "how the earth crumbles away and how in our desperate attempt we are trying to control or hide the subtle invasion of nature in cultivated space."

Karin Apollina Muller lives and works in California, and Germany and my interest is more the urban aspect of On Edge--her studies of LA: the sprawling city scape, the development, the billboards within the nature/urban interface.

The perspective is a bird's eye one that looks across the city from on high, rather than the walking the street perspective. The colours are soft and muted, the pictures of the non-CBD area are impressionistic --the LA haze?--the light is flat and the skies overcast. There is a nagging sense of desolation, ennui, with the viewpoint that of a visitor or stranger.
