The caption informed my understanding of the image by opening (leading me to) a critical space for interogating the concepts of landscape, native, productive and their antitheses: anti-landscape, non-native (no, hybrid, compromised, contaminated?), un-productive. What struck me most was the transformation of this image into a monstrous, living (breathing), promixal place. By presenting the image not simply as a damaged site, but as site of life--inhuman, dangerous, uncertain, this visualization is a provocation to imagine the future of anti-landscapes and their negotiated relationships to human life.
