I feel like this particular image is one of the best at encapsulating the overarching theme of "WENDOVER." On the other side of a fence in poor repair lies a fading neon casino sign. Once proudly displayed along the road to travelers passing by, the sign is now left to crumble and fade, replaced by something brighter and shinier. The sign, representative of the casino lifestyle in general, is on the "other side of the fence," just as the casinos are on the other side of the Utah-Nevada border. This "other side" isn't as bright and flashy as it used to appear. On this side of the fence, however, is where life is lived. The building to the left of the photo is a part of an apartment complex, whose backyards overlook the waste of casino culture. In a way, the waste and the glitz are one and the same.
Wendover, Utah x West Wendover, Nevada
pop. 5,810 (2010 Census)
"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.
