Benjamin Lord
Local Horses
Los Angeles, CA: B. Lord. 2008
Synopsis: "Local Horses, a photographic book recently self-published by Benjamin Lord, depicts brightly-hued horses in and around various greater Los Angeles environments. Focusing on horses of the most improbable colors, the book collides the documentary with the anti-documentary, creating a metaphoric space of contradiction. Stenciled off of organic, animal reality, but assembled and printed using digital tools, the images of the book starkly juxtapose the historic horse-based view of time/space with its contemporary digital counterpart. The book continues Lord's ongoing explorations of pictorial illusionism, the evolving California landscape, the cultural mechanisms of photography, the boundary between process and product, and the relationship between fiction and reality."
