Blind Spot Issue eighteen  

Bio:

Inspired by the sight of a newly constructed prison glowing in a nighttime prairie landscape, Stephen Tourlentes began his series of photographs of penitentiaries around the United States in 1996. Tourlentes found the glaring surveillance light of the prison beautiful from a distance yet deterring at close range, forming, as he describes it, "a physical and psychological border that affects those inside and out." Using an 8-by-10-inch view camera and working at night, Tourlentes creates luminescent photographs requiring exposure times ranging from five minutes to two hours.
