View, Boulder City, Nevada 1974

Joe Deal’s black and white photograph “View, Boulder City, Nevada” (1974) depicts a trailer home nestled in a desolate, rocky landscape, capturing a sense of solitude and isolation. The image features a building in the background, suggesting the presence of civilization, but the focus is on the trailer and its surroundings, emphasizing a stark and somewhat unsettling contrast between nature and human presence. This is a key example of Deal's photographic style, which often centered on the tension between the natural world and human constructions.
