Description
Donovan Wylie's latest book is a photographic exploration of the North Warning System, a network of radar stations built in Canada's Arctic region to detect invisible threats. Surveying these structures, Wylie examines the intersection of technology and power.
The development of long-range bombers and missiles after World War II made this remote area vulnerable to attack from the air, prompting the construction of a series of radar stations in the 1950s. These were later upgraded to form the North Warning System, which remains an active presence today as international maritime traffic increases.
Through his photographs, Wylie captures the stark beauty and eerie silence of these structures, where whiteness takes on the quality of a blank canvas, symbolizing the sweep of history.
