Organized by Aperture Foundation, Biographical Landscape exhibition offers an opportunity to revisit the works of Stephen Shore, one of the most prominent and influential American photographers to emerge in the last half century. Shore’s large color images of the urban landscape—gas stations, Piggly Wigglys, street scenes and diner fare—remind viewers how their sense of vision changes quickly because of photography. In the sixties, Shore spent several years photographing Andy Warhol’s Factory and, in the seventies, he began a series of road trips. Photographs from those trips act as both documentary and biography.
