Andrew Moore: Dirt Meridian

Reproduced from Damiani's absorbing new collection of Andrew Moore's large-format photographs of the "Dirt Meridian" of the United States, "Simon's Schoolhouse Museum" in Pennington County, South Dakota (2014) is an invitation-only museum which has had 1000 visitors since fifth-generation farmer, rancher, poet and historian Edgar Simon opened it in 1972. "Unlike other museums, which have only one of any particular item on display at a time, Simon tries to collect and present every possible variation of the objects that fascinate him."
