Things Fall Apart is Sasha Bezzubov’s series of landscape photographs made in the aftermath of natural disasters. These mundane places are instantly transformed through the violent power of a climatic or terrestrial force into dreamscapes of apocalyptic proportions. The aftermath of a natural catastrophe— ruined cities and settlements, wrecked homes and roads, scattered survivors—is how we imagine the end of time. Working within the tradition of landscape photography—a tradition born with industrial expansion—these photographs evidence nature's force as it reclaims land subdued and ruled by a myopic civilization.
