About Captains of the Dead Sea
Captains of the Dead Sea examines how the experience of place is influenced by the way in which the world has been previously photographed. A visitor can stand in Death Valley, for example, and realize that it ‘looks like’ Mars… or the Moon… or a scene from Star Wars. At its core, Captains of the Dead Sea considers the cinematic use of landscape-as-location. As well as the role of the American desert. Also the implications of how the boundaries between documentary and fictional narrative have become blurred.
