about the work
Fine Art Photography (Lenticular Print) with Aluminum Frame
Edition 1 of 5

Valle Mortis is a sensory depiction of the topographical similarities between Death Valley and Martian terrain predominantly through lenticular prints of the artist's aerial photographs of Death Valley, paralleled with Mars imagery from the HiRise (High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) by NASA/JPL/University of Arizona.
"The concept for this project has been formulated over three years and is inspired by my interests in satellite imagery, temporal mythologies, geological forces that shape landforms and specifically, the visual similarities found amongst terrestrial celestial bodies. I have followed the work of the HiRise since its inception, often astounded by the resemblance found within my own work. Thanks to the technology created by NASA, JPL and the University of Arizona, we can see the surface of a planet that is 95 million miles away in shocking detail. Valle Mortis brings this home, showing us the direct correlation and connection between worlds," says Brooke Holm.

In exploring our planet and our place within the greater macrocosm, I am interested in whether concepts of connection and coexistence with our universe are more discernable when altering the observational and experiential norms of everyday perspective.
