Trevor Paglen

The work of geographer and author Trevor Paglen deliberately blurs the lines between science, contemporary art, journalism and other disciplines to construct unfamiliar, yet meticulously researched ways to see and interpret the world. Paglen’s visual work has been exhibited at several museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Tate Modern in London. He is the author of five books, including Blank Spots on the Map: The Dark Geography of the Pentagon’s Secret World, and numerous articles on subjects such as experimental geography, state secrecy, military symbology, photography, and visuality. His book The Last Pictures is a meditation on the intersections of deep-time, politics, and art.
