Danielle Mericle’s enigmatic new book of photographs takes as its subject an
elusive herd of white deer that roams a deactivated cold
war-era army depot in upstate New York. Through a compelling
mix of photographic empiricism and poetic stream-of-consciousness,
this book becomes a reflection on our limited ability
to access and engage the political past through personal
experience. Seneca Ghosts, via its inability to fully articulate the white deer (thus its failure as a
useful document), exudes instead the notion of linear
history as mere illusion.
