Description

In Dirt Meridian, Andrew Moore takes off to document the High Plains of North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska in a series of stunning, large-format photographs. The “meridian” of the title refers back to the 100th meridian, the longitude that neatly bisects the United States and has long been regarded as the dividing line between the East and West. Much of the meridian traverses The united states’s so-referred to as flyover country, those sparsely populated landscapes between the urban centers on either coast. Other parts of the meridian cross contentious zones such as the heavily fracked Bakken formation in North Dakota.
Dirt Meridian interweaves two stories: the myths and history of the vast, severe American High Plains alongside portraits of the people who live there lately. Along the way, Moore worked with ranchers, farmers, crop dusters, game wardens, writers and historians to capture the mythology and reality of the High Plains. Many photographs in this book were taken the usage of a specially modified camera in a low-flying plane; the resulting pictures, with their literal bird’s-eye view, offer a unique viewpoint on this quintessential, seemingly boundless American landscape.
American photographer Andrew Moore (born 1957) is widely acclaimed for his photographic series, on a regular basis taken over many years, recording the effects of time on the natural and built landscape.
