Using drone photography with documentary candor and precision, Travis Fox creates a visually sumptuous record of former industrial sites and abandoned neighborhoods that persist as incisions on the landscape and scars in the memory. Fox is able to find patterns that are undetectable from the ground, uncovering a new visual record of old and debilitating problems, from institutionalized racism to environmental destruction. “Remains to be Seen” offers a bracing vision of an America that has become so familiar that it is, paradoxically, invisible to many Americans.Travis Fox is an aerial photographer and the Director of Visual Journalism at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.Philip Kennicott is the Pulitzer Prize-winning Senior Art and Architecture Critic of The Washington Post.
