The American West captivates the imagination as a landscape of exploration and promise. Sited between federal parkland and military territories, this project proposes a series of rest stops along a “western” drive that conflate the scenic with the scene. Like the nationalistic constructions of early US highway routes, these stops inscribe the sublime with experiential infrastructures, overlooks and marginal territories. Up-close to the frameworks of magnanimity the weaponized landscape is slowly humanized. Power and pleasure occupy the same ground.
