In this collection of essays on photographer Steven Seidenberg’s The Architecture of Silence: Abandoned Lives of the Italian South, art historians, critics, curators, architects, philosophers, anthropologists, and archaeologists come together to discuss the power and reach of Seidenberg’s work. Reflecting on varied aspects of the collection and its subject, some of the authors focus on the formal qualities of the images in reference to landscape painting, others discuss them in the broader context of cultural heritage, while still others ruminate on the compositional complexity of Seidenberg’s practice as it both echoes and stands apart from a trajectory that includes Carlton Watkins, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Marsha Ginsburg, and Subhankar Banerjee, among others. Finally, the essays underscore the impact of an imaging project that privileges the formal elements of composition as a means to evoke the tragedy and joy of those whose lives have come and gone, by bearing witness to their traces––in turn a visual meditation on the poignant
