If film is truth at 24 frames per second what is a still photograph? For Wim Wenders’s latest body of work, it’s loneliness, isolation, and discovery. Since 1983, on a scouting trip for Paris, Texas, Wenders has been photographing landscapes, most devoid of any human interaction. Some are Hopper-esque many are haunting. Haunch of Venison in London, is showing this collection of photographs in an exhibition called “Places, strange and quiet.” The exhibit pulls together nearly 40 photographs from Salvador, Brazil to Butte, Montana. For the many that won’t be able to journey to London to see the show, a catalog has been published to accompany the exhibit. (via Creative Review)
