Dan Holdsworth is one of the most innovative British photographers working with landscape today. He expands how the "landscape" of photography has changed, and how the way we can know the world through images has altered fundamentally.

His latest comission Continuous Topography reimagines the Jura mountains on the borders of Switzerland and France. Each work reveals millions of minutely calibrated individual measurements spanning the mountains, revealing their surfaces with awe-inspiring detail and precision. Each image is created as a "point cloud", and is the result of weeks of meticulous fieldwork in conjunction with a research geologist, amassing hundreds of photographic images. For the first time in history, we are able to inspect every crevice and curve of a landscape’s contours as if from a God’s-eye-view. Continuous Topography invites us to reimagine our relationship to time: to the instantaneity of the digital era, to the inconceivable timescales by which the sublime rock formations were first forged, and to a future with or without humanity’s planetary dominance.
