Label copy

With his camera pointed parallel to the ground Anthony Hernandez gives us little context with which to understand what we are seeing or its scale. Even the high gloss Cibachrome paper on which the image is printed disorients. What he portrays are the remains of target practice littering the Angeles National Forest, near the artist’s home in Los Angeles. Hernandez often finds his subjects on the outskirts of cities, where the utilization of land begins to shift toward clandestine activities.
