对美国西部的个人探索，以及美国伟大摄影师之一的作品。

蒂莫西-奥沙利文是美国著名的战地摄影师。

即使你不知道他的名字，你也知道他的作品：在盖茨堡拍摄的《死亡收获》是南北战争的标志性作品。他也是一批将当时的行业提升到美术地位的摄影师之一。战后，他随克拉伦斯-金（Clarence King）和乔治-惠勒（George Wheeler）率领的调查团旅行时拍摄的美国西部照片，显示了他对摄影未来发展的先见之明；多年后，安塞尔-亚当斯（Ansel Adams）宣称他的作品 "超现实主义，令人不安"。

与此同时，我们对奥沙利文本人却知之甚少。

我们对他拍摄的风景也知之甚少。罗伯特-沙利文的《双重曝光》就是为了追寻这两个谜团而写的。这本书记录了作者自己横跨西部，寻找奥沙利文所描绘的地方的公路之旅，其中许多地方早已被人遗忘或被铺平。

书中还回顾了十九世纪六七十年代这片土地上发生的变化，以及这些变化是如何以其他方式延续南北战争的。沙利文以其在《纽约客》和《老鼠》、《我的美国革命》等书中对地方的深入调查而闻名，他的这部作品与奥沙利文拍摄的间歇泉和温泉照片一样，揭示了美国景观本身的裂缝。

A personal exploration of the American West and the work of one of America's greatest photographers.

Timothy O'Sullivan is America's most famous war photographer.

You know his work even if you don't know his name: A Harvest of Death, taken at Gettysburg, is an icon of the Civil War. He was also among the first photographers to elevate what was then a trade to the status of fine art. The images of the American West he made after the war, while traveling with the surveys led by Clarence King and George Wheeler, display a prescient awareness of what photography would become; years later, Ansel Adams would declare his work "surrealistic and disturbing."

At the same time, we know very little about O'Sullivan himself.

Nor do we know-really know-much more about the landscapes he captured. Robert Sullivan's Double Exposure sets off in pursuit of these two enigmas. This book documents the author's own road trip across the West in search of the places, many long forgotten or paved over, that O'Sullivan pictured.

It also stages a reckoning with how the changes wrought on the land were already under way in the 1860s and '70s, and how these changes were a continuation of the Civil War by other means. Sullivan, known for his probing investigations of place in the pages of The New Yorker and books like Rats and My American Revolution, has produced a work that, like O'Sullivan's magisterial photos of geysers and hot springs, exposes a fissure in the American landscape itself.
