Phantom Skies and Shifting Ground: Landscape, Culture, and Rephotography in Eadweard Muybridge's Illustrations of Central America

Byron Wolfe uses photography and a diverse range of digital tools and visualizations to reflect on broader notions of culture, the passage of time, landscape, and the construction of perception. He often collaborates on long-term research projects with students and colleagues in fields that range from Visual Arts to Humanities to the Natural Sciences. He has authored or co-authored four books and his work has appeared in Harpers Magazine, The New York Times, Orion, Audubon, and more. He is a Guggenheim Fellow with prints held in many permanent collections that include The George Eastman Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
