Mark Klett’s “Rephotographic Survey Project” is an endeavor to discover how the landscape has changed by carefully remaking 19th-century expedition photography. Rather than replicate a specific historical view however, this image serves as a record of Klett’s journey, using 19th-century tropes such as the inclusion of the figure (the artist) for scale and the handwritten title. Klett’s materials and process are contrastingly modern: the border on this photograph reveals that it is an enlarged print from a Polaroid negative.
