Included early on in the physical photo book of "WENDOVER," this image depicts the "border" between those playing the game, and those observing the game. Just as in the town as a whole, this particular border doesn't just separate the two groups--but connects them. Even those watching the game are participants in their own way. This photo invites viewers to think about the series not as something to merely observe--but to recognize their role as participants in the series as well. Their support for me and this project is like cheering on a baseball team, but more intimately and special than I can express.
Wendover, Utah x West Wendover, Nevada

"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.
