Holdsworth’s vacant C-prints make modern heroes out of familiar American sites –
Salt Lake City, Yosemite, The Grand Canyon, Mount St. Helens - reinventing
geologically tumultuous landscapes as expanses of serenity, without sacrificing
their grandeur.
Drained of
colour, the brightness dial on full whack, it’s easy to imagine Holdsworth as an astronaut recently returned from deep space exploration, his camera a vessel
bearing images of unchanging alien landscapes where sound travels long and far
in a dense-less air.
But then
you remember it’s only Salt Lake City. And you realize what an impressive photo-man
Mr. Holdworth really is.
