Beneath Two skies
“At the heart of Beneath Two Skies is a performative structure that mirrors the seasonal cycles of the land it depicts. Hobler’s use of photographic sequences—with repeated viewpoints and motifs—recreates the sensation of walking the same terrain day after day, season after season. This rhythm evokes not just the passage of time but a kind of musicality: images rise and fall, drift and return, as though following the undulating tempo of a slow, solemn composition.“
-- Steve Bisson, Urbanautica
"Encountering prescribed burning for the first time, I was unsure of what I was looking at or why it was being done. Though it seemed counterintuitive to set a landscape on fire, there must have been a reason for it. As my interest grew, I developed a relationship with a group of prescribed burn technicians working across southwestern Ontario. Since 2017, I have had the privilege of walking alongside them as they work.
In teasing out my initial uncertainty around prescribed burning, and embodying the act of looking and moving, there are many sequences, repetitions, and formal elements at work in this book. Sequences of pictures with similar views evoke subtle movement – a shift in bodyweight, a slight turn of the head – expanding the implication of the physical space. Repetition in the book calls to mind the act of walking a familiar place over and over again, of seeing similar objects or patterns that change gradually every day, and calling the permanence of memory into question. Even the horizon line rises and falls like smoke and fire eddying on turbulent air."
