 Collection Overview

Collection consists of black and white photographs, negatives, and color photographs on the theme of the interactions and the connections between people and the natural world, and the way people manage, perceive, and represent "nature." The images were taken by photographer Peter Goin from 1991-1992 while he was Artist-In-Residence at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. They were shot in various locations, predominantly in North and South Carolina and Virginia, but also in Alabama, Georgia, central Florida, Arizona, California, and Tennessee. There is also one image from Nevada. A selection of these images was published in the book, Humanature, published by University of Texas Press in 1996, and the project also generated a traveling exhibit by the same name. The photographs often depict altered and artificial landscapes featuring beaches, canals, farm fields, rivers, managed forests, prescribed burns and reforestation sites, zoos, and other places. Locations in North Carolina include Durham, the NC Zoological Park, Duke Forest, the Carnivore Preservation Trust, Outer Banks beaches, the Chatooga and Nantahala Rivers, and the mountains near Highlands, NC.
