Even at Night it’s Never Dark
is a photographic project exploring the impact of excessive city lighting and resulting light pollution on the landscape and the human. Stemming from personal experience and research relating to the impact of artificial city light on health, the project explores the harshness and constructiveness of this light.It looks into how this has an unnatural effect on life and results in feelings of disconnect from natural roots; replaced by synthetics. Intentional overexposure amplifies the overwhelming power of city lights, distorting colors to reflect their physical impact. Dust spots and chromatic aberration reinforce the idea of light as omnipotent, exposing every flaw. Photographs of constructed structures comment on the capitalist roots of light pollution, while the following images explore the impact light has on nature.
