Lisa M. Robinson : Snowbound

five winters long, the young American photographer Lisa M.

Robinson took pictures in the snow. Snowbound shows landscapes in which everyday objects - alienated and sunken in snow - "civilize" the natural surroundings.

Traces of human existence set accents in the white landscape, delimiting it and often popping up in an amusing or incongruous way.

A lonely hammock, a trampoline, and a swimming pool are echoes of the summer past and of personal memories.

But Robinson is not interested in showing the obvious; instead she makes use of the many aggregate states of water - ice, snow, fog, and water - as metaphors for life and transience.
