Richard Misrach: Salton Sea
Misrach’s Desert Canto III: The Flood (1983-85) is an ecologically engaged series focused on the Salton Sea, an artificial desert lake created in the 1900s. Stocked with fish in the 1950s to promote tourism, by the 1980s it became highly saline with toxic algae blooms and wildlife die-offs.
