Anastasia Samoylova: Floodzone Samoylova Anastasia
FloodZone is Miami-based Russian photographer Anastasia Samoylova's (born 1984) account of life on the knife-edge of the Southern United States: in Florida, where sea levels are rising and hurricanes threaten. These beautifully subtle and often unsettling images capture the mood of waiting, of knowing the climate is changing, of living with it. But this book is not a visualization of disaster or catastrophe.
But the mood is pensive and melancholy. The color palette is tropical: lush greens, azure blues, pastel pinks. As new luxury high-rises soar, their foundations are in water.
Crumbling walls carry images of tourist paradise. Manatees appear in odd places, sensitive to environmental change. Water is everywhere and water is the problem.
Mixing lyric documentary, gently staged photos and epic aerial vistas, FloodZone crosses boundaries to express the deep contradictions
