A Glimpse of Nature, Via Downtown Billboards
A photo project in Los Angeles and Philadelphia implants images of nature on urban billboards and buildings
Photographer Tim Simmons recently completed a two-city public exhibition of nature photography displayed in a most uncommon setting: city billboards and blank walls. For the past two months, his Urban Land Project towered over streets and filled derelict wall spaces in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. He fielded questions via email about the project and the juxtaposition of nature and urbanity.
