Julie Shafer's research explores remote landscapes that hold traces of historic, political moments in time and uses processes that allow photographic material to render varied records of a space, making intangible, often "inconvenient truths" visible. She uses photographic processes such as pinhole photography, lumen prints, chemigrams, and extremely long-exposures, as well as producing rubbings on-site in the landscape. The results are left open to chance; the site or situation dictates a process, with results that are often abstract but are achieved through a precise rendering of a place. Her works function as a type of evidence, not to foreground authenticity or accuracy, but rather to serve as an interpretative expression.
