In John Gossage's words, this is a book "with a particular context, of photographs to settle the feeling that I did not understand my home. To do that I set out, starting in 2003, to see what clarity my pictures might bring." And so came into being these photos of scenes, things, minor events and the look in the eyes of the young, all taken in everyday non iconic places throughout his travels across America. "Should Nature Change," taken from the Book of Isaiah, is for Gossage both a declaration and a warning: "I am a humanist, like most of us are, I can't really step back to see the beauty and order of all this; closeness brings chaos and dread in this case. We have done harm to the place we live, I'm told, but it seems to me that we have done the most harm to ourselves and our best-laid plans. The planet has a plan to fix this, if we don't."
用 john gossage 的话来说,这是一本有着特定背景的书,用照片来解决我不理解我的家的感觉。为此我从2003年开始着手,看看我的照片能带来什么样的清晰度这些场景,事件,小事件和年轻人的眼神的照片就这样诞生了,这些照片都是在他穿越美国的旅途中,在日常的非标志性的地方拍摄的。”如果自然改变”摘自以赛亚书,对 gossage 来说既是一个宣言又是一个警告: ”我是一个人道主义者,就像我们大多数人一样,我不能真的退后一步去看这一切的美丽和秩序; 亲密带来混乱和恐惧,在这种情况下。有人告诉我,我们对我们居住的地方造成了伤害,但在我看来,我们对自己造成了最大的伤害,对我们精心安排的计划造成了最大的伤害。如果我们不这么做,这个星球有个计划来解决这个问题”
