“The Stray Shopping Carts of
Eastern North America” made by Julian Montague is composed of twelve images
placed two inches away from one another. Each of the light jet prints is
mounted onto Plexiglas. There is a common theme among these photographs:
misplaced and littered shopping carts in different landscapes. The majority of
the shopping carts are shown in an angle. Although a lot of the shopping carts
seem to have been tossed within the snow, it is not easy to determine the time
of the year for all twelve pictures.
As I stated before and is shown in
the image, many of the images show us a shopping cart tossed. In the second
image from the top left hand corner the red cart is under some wood and covered
in snow. Similarly, the one below that one is also covered but instead with
leaves. However, the second one from the bottom right hand side is exposed and
laying on top of the snow. The shopping cart image to the left of that one is
not as revealing, it seems to have been tossed in a garbage can.
Also, it is interesting when
noticing the various angles in which the photographer took these images. The
shots are not too close to the shopping carts but not that far either. About
half of the shopping carts are placed in the center of the frame, which might
have been intentional.
