In the early 2000s, Richard Misrach began a series titled On the Beach, a body of work that traveled extensively and has been highly influential. These colour photographs deal with the human figure seen at a distance, on an unspecified beach or in the water, observed from an unsettling and difficult-to-identify point of view located high above.

 Misrach has continued this work, while vast changes in photographic technology over the intervening decade caused a shift in approach, both conceptually and technically. This book is based on two photographs: the one made by Misrach and the other made concurrently, at the time of exposure, by the subjects of his photograph. The extreme detail explored in this work concisely summates both the artist’s concerns and the ubiquity of digital technology as we are portrayed and portray ourselves.
