In “Hunter Gatherer,” photographer Mark Klett applies a forensic and archival eye to the “salvaged” remains of American material culture. Moving across landscapes of the American West and urban fringes, Klett documents abandoned objects, historical sites, and the unintended artifacts of human presence. The book functions as a photographic archeology, challenging the viewer to find meaning in the detritus of history. It interweaves Klett’s crisp, high-detail color photography with short essays that explore themes of memory, waste, and the persistent human drive to collect and categorize. Produced with the exceptional quality typical of Radius Books, this volume is a poetic inquiry into what we leave behind and what we choose to save.
