Reviewed on Lenscratch: Everglades by Lisa Elmaleh

Zatara Press News collodion, everglades, lenscratch, lisaelmaleh

So happy to see the review by Aline Smithson on Lenscratch, of ZP’s latest publication, “Everglades”

“About a month ago, I received an unexpected book in the mail from Zatara Press. The Everglades by Lisa Elmaleh has a cover in a richly saturated green linen with a woodcut of a Florida landscape providing a clue as to the subject matter. It is not the usual presentation for a photography book and the interior continued to delight me with a series of surprises…”

Product Description

In the 1800s, the Everglades were viewed as a landscape to develop and conquer, to alter permanently. To date, more than half of the Everglades have been repurposed for urban and agricultural use.  “Freshwater flowing into the park is engineered,” reads the brochure given to all visitors of Everglades National Park.  “With the help of pumps, floodgates, and retention ponds along the park’s boundary, the Everglades is presently on life support, alive but diminished.”

In Everglades, Lisa Elmaleh returned to her native South Florida.  In a project that lasted from 2008 until 2016, Elmaleh examined her native landscape, photographing the flora and fauna of the Everglades, the only ecological system of its kind.  Inspired by early landscape photographers of the American West, Elmaleh spent her time in the Everglades using a large format 8×10” camera and the wet collodion glass negative process, a nineteenth century process requiring the images be exposed and developed on site in a small portable cardboard darkroom.  In this way, Elmaleh hopes to preserve an essence of the Everglades, a land we are rapidly losing without knowing the magnitude of our loss.

The Everglades project was the winner of the Aaron Siskind Foundation award, the Puffin Foundation Grant, and the Everglades National Park Artist Residency (AIRIE).
