20th Century Alienation - David Horvitz

20th Century Alienation is a series of 27 alphabetized prints. The words were taken from the keywords of stock photographs depicting depression. These keywords are edited alphabetically and presented as a series of found poems. This metadata floats like an invisible language below the stock photograph’s surface. Maybe when a viewer sees these words they conjure up subtle photographic impressions. Or maybe these are the keywords of our zeitgeist and the ambiance we inhabit.
