Published on the occasion of Dana Hoey's exhibition Experiments In Primitive Living, at the Petzel Gallery, New York, November 21, 2008 - January 24, 2009.
Through five photographic styles—commercial product shot, scientific photo, portrait and epic narrative—New York artist Dana Hoey documents a world of primitive living conditions, under five different weather conditions: ash, freeze, thaw, flood and drought. Instruments of survival, such as the flashlight and the compass, populate these extreme situations.
