Campaign Landscapes is a collection of photographs made in venues that once held campaign events.
The photographs, largely devoid of people, show the general area where the stage or crowd were located during campaign events for Barack Obama and John McCain. These venues, functioning as backdrops to a politician, act as an image to either reinforce or narrativize a certain message. They point to the level to which a candidate’s image is controlled and manipulated, but also act as a mirror of the community these campaigns are hoping to court.
