Accomplished photographer Richard Misrach’s series ‘On The Beach’ is beautifully executed and pulls on threads from so many other unrelated works I’ve seen, in particular a series shot for Missoni by Steven Meisel. Misrach explains:
The photographs that appear in On the Beach were made between January 2002 and November 2005. My thinking was influenced by the events of 9/11, as well as by the 1950s Cold War novel and film, On the Beach. I was drawn to the fragility and grace of the human figure in the landscape. For me, the work is both a celebration of our survival and an elegy. Paradise has become an uneasy dwelling place; the sublime sea frames our vulnerability, the precarious nature of life itself.
