A lovely series of portraits, still lifes and landscapes by photographer Aaron Canipe. Taken in over 20 counties in North Carolina, the series is both a documentation of the changing piedmont region as well as the creation of a fictional space where nothing ever does.
As North Carolina novelist Thomas Wolfe states in his 1937 novella, The Lost Boy: “all things came and passed, and yet abode forever and would never change.” For Canipe, “Plateau” is about locating lost innocence and finding global meaning in local places.
