The suburban Documentation project is shot in six states, a collaboration between photographer Chris Faust and architect Frank Martin. It was photographed in a variety of urban development, in both large and small towns. Faust focuses on what he refers to as an obsession with the "cultural landscape."
In his artist statement, he verbalizes something for which I've been searching. Motivation behind my project is based on what may be a fleeting chance to photograph historical moments. Faust states that "Landscape are constantly changing which has given an urgency to my need to document this change and record the decisive moment. Common subjects that anyone can see on any given day..."
Faust was born in 1955 and now resides in St. Paul, MN. He received his BA from St. Cloud State University in 1987 and a Master of Science in Educational Media from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in 1980. He has had 11 solo shows and over 30 group exhibitions. He has also been the recipient of a McKnight Foundation Fellowship for Photography.
