Nadav Kander: I wish i were near you « Previous | |Next »
October 31, 2010

Nadav Kander has appeared before on junk for code with his Yangtze River project, which explored the banks and waterways of The Yangtze River that provide home and livelihood for hundreds of millions of Chinese.

An earlier series was 'I wish i were near you', which was centred around Los Angeles freeways

The signs of human habitation are over whelmed by the modernist industrial structures for the car which dominate. It makes us uneasy and suggests a troubled relationship with these imposing freeways:

We live in the shadows of these giant concrete structures.Though shot at night the style refers back to the social landscape work of Richard Misrach.
