Remains to be Seen explores a disappearing but still tangible American landscape, from the rust-belt towns of the Midwest to the borscht-belt resorts of the Catskill mountains. Using drone photography with documentary candor and precision, Travis Fox creates a visually sumptuous record of former industrial sites and abandoned neighborhoods that persist as incisions on the landscape and scars in the memory. Fox is able to find patterns that are undetectable from the ground, uncovering a new visual record of old and debilitating problems, from institutionalized racism to environmental destruction. “Remains to be Seen” offers a bracing vision of an America that has become so familiar that it is, paradoxically, invisible to many Americans.
Remains to be Seen is an exploration of memory, loss, and survival physically etched on the landscape.
