Beauty in the banal research

The New Topographics movement became known in 1975 to label the banal photographs of urban landscapes taken by mostly young American photographers. These photographers took creative inspiration from everyday unremarkable man made places and shot them similarly to historic natural landscape images. An exhibition of this work was displayed in New York from 1975-1976 and included typologies often in grids.

The movement brought to light the impact on the environment made by humans, this linked with ecological thinking that was starting at the time. The images had a minimalistic, neutral style to resemble the simple, banal subject matter.

The movement was very influential on contemporary photography, it particularly inspired Artists like Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Candida Höfer and Thomas Struth who became known as the "Dusseldorf School of Photography". They studied under Bernd and Hilla Becher, the only international photographers at the ‘New Topographics’ exhibition. They created work of both the man made interior and exterior environment. The New Topographics began its on style, brought attention to human architecture, and reshaped the definition of landscape photography.

New Topographic Movement Research

The new topographic movement was a term first used by William Jenkins in 1975, which described a group of photographers who all shared a similar banal aesthetic – In the way that they were organised, prints of an urban landscape that had a clinical almost empty feel to them.

The “New Topographic movement” was born in the mid 70s with an exhibition which was curated by William Jenkins at the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. This characterised a key moment in American landscape photography and would further go on to influence other photographer around the globe for years to come.

However it had a sort of bad reaction from viewers when looking at the work as they remarked words such as :

“I don’t like them—they’re dull and flat. There’s no people, no involvement, nothing.”

“I don’t like to think there are ugly streets in America, but when it’s shown to you—without beautification—maybe it tells you how much more we need here.”

Some new photographers who were linked to the new topographic movement, were inspired by the man made, urban and almost dystopian in subject matter. This would include, but not limited to Parking lots, suburban housing and warehouses. These subject matters where photographed with an almost beautiful aura and depiction of the urban landscape, almost like early photographers photographed the very first natural landscapes.

Since 1975 "New Topographics" photographers such as Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Hilla Becher, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, and Stephen Shore - have influenced photographic practices regarding the landscape around the world with their images.

Although it received unenthusiastic reception in 75, the new topographic movement has been enormously influential in contemporary photography, in terms of it’s a attention to detail and architecture and its cool empty subject matter. So much so, to a testament to its importance to the photographic world, the original exhibition was reinstated in 2009 which is a demonstration of its historical importance.

Below are some modern interpretations of the early work of the new topographic movement :

From my small garden series, which I'm currently making into a small book. Each plot is different, reflecting the people who grow things in the space.
