The surreal nocturnal landscapes in The Ecotone series explore the tension between human control and the wilderness. Jarrett Murphy uses exposures as long as two hours on analog film, and carefully controlled studio lighting to transform familiar landscapes. The results are otherworldly scenes, with vivid colours and sharp lighting that today might give the impression that they have been artificially generated or edited. This ongoing series examines nature as both shaped by and resistant to human intervention, reflecting Murphy’s evolving relationship with wilderness, artifice, beauty, and the unknown.
