This is another high-impact photo to WENDOVER's theme. Against the shaded, dull winter colors of the house and yard, the bright, sun lit bouncy house looks vibrantly out of place. And also... fun. The bouncy house isn't accessible, however... it's on the other side of a fence.
It creates the perfect microcosmic metaphor for the casinos of West Wendover. The casinos, like this bouncy house, look like a lot of fun, but the environment around them is really no different than the backdrop of their neighboring town on the other side of the border.

"Where the West Begins!"
WENDOVER is Oliver Dahl's second published photographic exploration of a small town, a sequel to the series debut, ARCO. The book (and accompanying NFT collection) features a combination of digital and analog photography, paired with stories and history from this town in the Great Salt Lake Desert. From gambling and speed racing to scuba diving and bombing ranges, Wendover is much more than just a sleepy city by the salt flats.
This photo series is the result of 5 different dedicated trips throughout the last year in each of the four seasons. It explores the effects of connection and separation that result from borders and distance, while crafting an honest, raw, and liminal depiction of the gambling town "oasis" of Wendover.
Initial collectors will be sent signed copies of the physical book upon release.
Additional copies can be purchased at www.oliverdahl.com/wendover.
