Frontcountry
Lucas Foglia
Between 2006 and 2013, Lucas Foglia travelled through Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Wyoming, some of the most sparsely populated regions of the US. “Frontcountry”, published by Nazraeli Press, begins with images of cowboys and gradually shows the encroachment of the mining companies: gold, oil, natural gas, copper, coal.
In the American West, ranching and mining have two parallel histories. Cowboys and ranching culture are the identity, printed on license plates and tourist souvenirs. But if Nevada, for instance, was a country, it would be the fourth largest gold producer in the world. Companies are digging bigger holes to find smaller things, leaving pits where there were mountains. “Frontcountry” is a portrait of the people who live in the contemporary, rural American West, and the ways they share and depend on a landscape that still feels wild.
