Additional information

This paper combines Walker’s long-term critical-theoretical research into the history of surrealist photography with practice-as-research to elucidate the cultural context and creative processes underpinning Frederick Sommer’s Arizona Landscapes photographs from the 1940s. Giving a highly personal account of the process of his scholarly work, Walker concludes by using Sommers’ own camera to locate and understand the site where one of the original photographs was made.
