From Getting Lost Uta Koegelsberger + -“For the ‘getting lost’ series I sought out places that embody those archetypes and took photographs at night with the light of distress flares usually used when lost at sea. The photographs were taken on the Bonneville Salt Flats (where the Doner Party first got lost, which lead to fatal delay near lake Tahoe), Death Valley and Craters of the Moon National Monument. The flares become a means of framing and reinterpreting these landscapes, that have been photographed so many times that we are familiar with them before we ever visit” -Koegelsberger
