Boom and Dust with a print and cassette
$100.00
Boom and Dust depicts a 40-mile stretch of highway between Midland and Odessa, Texas. This roadway serves as the backbone of the extraction industry in the Permian Basin, the most productive oil field in the world. Inspired by Ed Ruscha, we made hundreds of photographs from the back of a pickup truck of the unrelenting scroll of mancamps, pumpjacks, and oil outfitters collectively known as the “Petroplex.”
