Polluting the Night + Photographs
Light Pollution - and the return of the night
“Human interference with visible astronomy is generally referred to as ‘light pollution,’ or – my personal favorite – ‘light trespass,’ light that has trespassed its terrestrial limits and now competes with the heavens above, blocking out the stars and forming a counter-astronomy. Photographer David Allee, however, has found a way to take advantage of light trespass and its aesthetic possibilities, documenting the “intrusive otherworldly effect of artificial light on man-made environments.” This is light pollution as a photographic resource.” (via)
