Description

For this work, Klett reconstructed two shots of the Grand Canyon taken by survey photographer J. K. Hiller more than a century earlier. Altered only by the slow processes of geology and weather in the intervening years, the monumental canyon walls offer no signs of human presence except a single hat tossed on the top of the cliff by the photographer--the contemporary human in the timeless natural environment.
