To make his series, The Land Describes Itself (2019), Sky Hopinka—a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and a descendant of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians—took his photographic transparencies of landscapes in the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest, and the Great Lakes region and layered them on an overhead projector, obscuring and recombining them to make their original references unrecognizable. He then photographed these new compositions with a digital camera and scratched a line of poetry into the final print.
