Site 10: The Unearth Collective
Seattle, Washington

The Mediated Landscape
2012

The Unearth Collective’s 'analog Instagram' installation provides a series of alternative lenses through which to view Carkeek Park’s most frequently photographed landscape. These film-covered, acrylic plates reveal a strange view of the landscape beyond, highlighting the subjectivity and situatedness of the viewer, and experiential difference. The installation speaks to the nature of being a visitor, the pressures imposed on the park by the very people for whom the park exists, and the indistinguishable intertwining of nature and culture. Through the publication and posting of photographs taken through these alternative lenses, the installation will contribute to the variety and ubiquity of representations of this highly mediated landscape.

Statement:

The Unearth Collective creates site-specific land art that addresses themes of experience, reciprocity and materiality. We view each project as an opportunity to tangibly connect people to place, reveal something previously hidden, recognize pattern and relatedness, and enhance experiential awareness. We maintain a respect for sites in all their messy and murky complications, creating work with minimal intervention for maximum impact.

The Unearth Collective’s projects include 4Culture Site Specific-funded “Desire Lines,” a mapped walk tracing paths created by pedestrians in Shoreline, WA and the recently completed “Lanternman Milemarkers” recognizing the history of the Washington’s Interurban Trail.
