About

Why this artist matters now

Mark Klett is an American photographer born in 1952 whose practice centers on landscape and the photographic document of geological and temporal change. Working primarily in color and black-and-white photography, he has developed a distinctive approach to rephotography, systematically revisiting sites across extended time periods to examine how landscapes transform and how photographic representation itself constructs historical narrative. His work engages with postwar American expansion, environmental alteration, and the archive as a mode of inquiry.
