UTC-04:00Location
Ciné Athens | Athens, GA
Banks's work is held in the permanent collections of the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, and the New York Public Library. His commercial clients have included TIME, Apple, The New York Times, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, and many others, and he has lectured at institutions including Western Kentucky University, the University of Miami, Savannah College of Art and Design, the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, and the University of Massachusetts.
For "Trembling Earth", Banks paddled 500 miles and spent 69 nights over three years deep in the Okefenokee Swamp, photographing its wonders and absorbing what he calls "the unmistakable yet ineffably mystical quality of this primordial space." Using in-camera techniques rather than post-production effects and with a highly individual eye for the uncanny and the sublime, Banks created a fantastical, personal essay in 90 photographs that communicate his dreamlike vision of the Okefenokee's unique, awe-inspiring, and precarious ecosystem.
