Mimi Plumb's Landfall encapsulates the anxieties of a world spinning out of balance, a mirror-land eerily reminiscent of our own time. The burnt-out remains of a house fire open out onto equally decimated alpine landscapes, group shots of humans in lackadaisical embrace with high tech weapons of war... Plumb's photographs of manmade scars and refuse mingle in seductive rhythm with portraits of friends and strangers in disquieting poses, reveling in the underlying unease the artist saw in herself, her community, and the world at large.
