I found Gefeller’s aerial series in an old photo magazine, and couldn’t stop staring at them. At the time, I didn’t even know they were aerial, though I knew something was up with the perspective. I find these photos so utterly compelling in the way he’s taken the ordinary and vaulted it into the extraordinary. Eggleston did that, but you sense so much repetition in his work that becomes rote after awhile. Gefeller on the other hand, can make dirt existential.
