Description

The Evolution of Ivanpah Solar explores the intersection of nature and human activity through the lens of one of the world's largest concentrated solar power plants. Aerial photographer Jamey Stillings captures the transformation from barren landscape to angular forms, revealing the complex relationships between raw natural forms and precise geometric lines. From the stark terrain before construction to the completed plant with its capacity to produce 392 megawatts of electricity, Stillings's images incorporate tight abstractions, oblique views of geologic forms, and broad open views of the desert basin. This book not only forms part of the contemporary discussion on climate change but also imparts an historical perspective. The Evolution of Ivanpah Solar is a thought-provoking exploration of renewable energy projects and their impact on our perceptions of land and resource use.
