Jeff Wall’s Unique Photographic Vision ONE HUNDRED MILES into the desert north of Los Angeles, at the intersection of two crumbling roads that are slowly re-assimilating into the ruddy, sunbaked earth, a flimsy, black folding umbrella—the kind that sells for $7 at a drugstore—fends off the high-noon rays from its perch on a metal stand. Beneath its shade, a tall man in a blue dress shirt and black jeans climbs onto a ladder, oblivious to the 85-degree heat. He peers through binoculars, concentrating intently on two land surveyors working about 15 yards in front of him and, beyond, the scrubland extending to the horizon. The binoculars are balanced atop an accordion-like, oversize black camera. This is Canadian photographer Jeff Wall patiently pursuing his prey—the fleeting instant when a surveyor’s hammer rises and begins to fall toward a metal stake in the ground—attempting to capture the precise moment when nature is transformed into property. Just the same, Wall acknowledges that bad art does exist.
