Notes

Description
Proving Ground comprises aerial and on-site photographs made at Dugway Proving Ground, a vast military compound in Utah's Great Salt Lake Desert. A primary mission of Dugway is to develop, test, and implement chemical and biological weaponry and defense programs. The Pentagon granted Maisel access to Dugway to photograph the terrain, testing facilities, and zones of toxic weapons deployment. Proving Ground is a critical response to the formal and political aspects of Dugway, in Maisel's words, a "hidden, walled-off, and secret site that offers the opportunity to reflect on who and what we are collectively, as a society."
