Two Pipes Fourteen Locations
Peter Downsbrough
For Two Pipes Fourteen Locations, Peter Downsbrough photographed two black gas pipes, placed in the ground with a fixed distance between them in rural and urban landscapes against backdrops of both natural and architectural elements. The heights of each pipe are listed in the table of contents next to the location of each photograph, but the data itself seems less important than the fact that the artist gathered it and that he placed these arbitrary (but deliberate) markers of something in the landscape. Downsbrough’s signifying vertical lines from the printed page of previous books here migrate into the actual world, the place from which he chooses to address abstract notions of structure and order.
