Altered Landscape: Six Oranges 1975

"Altered Landscape: Six Oranges" is a 1975 photograph by John Pfahl (1939–2020) that exemplifies his signature style of altering landscapes with everyday objects. The image features six oranges meticulously placed on a dirt path that winds through a wooded area. The oranges, seemingly out of place, disrupt the natural scene and create a sense of unease, inviting viewers to ponder the artist's intervention and its impact on the landscape. This work is a testament to Pfahl's exploration of the boundaries between nature and human intervention, challenging traditional notions of landscape photography.
