The Canyon Fastness of Haurmaea - From the Joint Photographic Survey Adam Ryder

$450

“The Orbis Tertius/Joint Photographic Survey” uses digitally altered images sourced from the United States Library of Congress website to portray a fictional joint endeavor between the administrative bodies of British-controlled Palestine and the Emirate of Transjordan in the 1920s. In this series, Adam underscores the agency of the photographic medium in fabricating a composite image of the Middle East that is consistent with colonial values and Orientalist distortions.

The Orbis Tertius/Joint Photographic Survey (JPS) purports to contain photographs from a joint endeavor between the administrative bodies of British-controlled Palestine and the Emirate of Transjordan in the 1920s. The images themselves showcase various architectural subjects left behind by an ancient civilization, loosely categorized into towers, rock dwellings, palaces, and monuments. Taking aesthetic cues from actual sites in the Middle East, the JPS photographs are, in fact, simulcra of various Hellenistic, Roman, Egyptian, Arab, and Persian architectonic forms, created by digitally combining elements of high-resolution photographs that I sourced from the United States Library of Congress website. By rooting the project in this particular geographic zone and time period, I aim to underscore the agency of the photographic medium in fabricating a composite image of the Middle East that is consistent with colonial values and Orientalist distortions.
