Each landscape tells a different part of a story &#8212; the story of Peru\u2019s vulnerability to drought and shrinking glaciers due to climate change. The images are part of a large body of work titled<\/em>&nbsp;A History of the Future.&nbsp;<em>The initial aim of this work was to photograph places throughout the world where scientists study the impacts of climate change, vulnerability to future impacts and\/or attempts to mitigate and adapt.&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At first, we were drawn to the stillness in these places that contrasted so profoundly with a sense of an invisible violence.&nbsp; Later, we realized that that this violence was not really in the image itself.&nbsp; The meaning of these images depends on their context within a larger discourse about climate change \u2013 a discourse with many registers: scientific, journalistic, activist and artistic.&nbsp; In the aggregate, the photographs form an archive and can be positioned as evidence.&nbsp; Viewed individually, the images form a blank stare.&nbsp; How we meet that stare depends on our changing perceptions of Nature.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Displayed in diverse venues, the photography is frequently combined with other elements, such as archival objects, research, video or mixed media installation. This photography project led to the creation of a larger arts collaborative called<\/em>&nbsp;The Canary Project&nbsp;<em>which has produced works, involving more than 30 artists, that deepen public understanding of climate change.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/sayler_morris_1_peru.jpg\" width=\"545\" height=\"432\"><strong>Sayler \/ Morris for the Canary Project<\/strong>,<em>Glacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting XLVII: Cordillera Blanca, Peru, 2008.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><\/em><em><strong>Sayler \/ Morris for the Canary Project<\/strong>,&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><em>Glacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting LI: Cordillera Blanca, Peru, 2008.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><\/em><em><strong>Sayler \/ Morris for the Canary Project<\/strong>,&nbsp;&nbsp;Glacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting L: Cordillera Blanca, Peru, 2008.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><\/em><em><strong>Sayler \/ Morris for the Canary Project<\/strong>,&nbsp;&nbsp;Glacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting LIX: Lake Paron, Peru, 2008.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><\/em><em><strong>Sayler \/ Morris for the Canary Project<\/strong>,&nbsp;&nbsp;Glacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting LVI: Quebrada La Agonia, Peru, 2008<\/em><em>&nbsp;(6_Peru.jpg)&nbsp;<\/em>Glacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting LIX: Lima, Peru, 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/sayler_morris_6_Peru.jpg\" width=\"545\" height=\"423\"><br><strong>Sayler \/ Morris for the Canary Project<\/strong>,Glacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting LIX: Lima, Peru, 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/sayler_morris_7_Peru.jpg\" width=\"545\" height=\"441\"><strong>Sayler \/ Morris for the Canary Project<\/strong>,Glacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting LVII: North of Lima, Peru, 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/sayler_morris_8_Peru.jpg\" width=\"545\" height=\"431\"><em><strong>Sayler \/ Morris for the Canary Project<\/strong>,&nbsp;&nbsp;G<\/em>lacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting LIV: Carabayllo, Lima, Peru, 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sayler \/ Morris Website http:\/\/sayler-morris.com\/ The Canary Project http:\/\/canary-project.org\/ A History of the Future http:\/\/www.history-of-the-future.com\/ Susannah Sayler\u2019s Faculty Page at Syracuse University http:\/\/vpa.syr.edu\/directory\/susannah-sayler Nancy Keefe Rhodes, \u201cQ &amp; A on the Canary Project\u201d, Syracuse University Magazine, Summer 2012 http:\/\/sumagazine.syr.edu\/2012spring\/orangematters\/canaryproject.html Edward Morris: Art &amp; Media Fighting Climate Change, The Great Immensity, December 6, 2011 http:\/\/thegreatimmensity.org\/2011\/edward-morris-art-media-fighting-climate-change\/ John [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"parent":304,"menu_order":0,"template":"resource-artist","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"topic":[6,8,9,10,17],"class_list":["post-1459","content","type-content","status-publish","hentry","category-uncategorized","topic-documentary-style","topic-landscape","topic-light-shadow","topic-photojournalism","topic-text"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content\/1459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/content"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content\/1459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2443,"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content\/1459\/revisions\/2443"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content\/304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1459"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.routledgelearning.com\/reframingphotography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=1459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
