The twelve selected photographs exemplify the artist's ability to transform the mundane into something fascinating. Basing his images on Wish You Were Here postcards from the 1960s, Mann digitally alters the source material. The result is a disturbing conflation of creepiness and familiarity.

Arriving at each event after the fact allows the artist to witness the destruction with a degree of distance. Using the form of landscape photography, a tradition born with industrial expansion, these photographs evidence nature's force as it reclaims land subdued and ruled by a myopic civilization.
