Dismantling Geneva Steel: Photographs by Chris Dunker

Brigham Young University

March 14-November 1, 2008

Add Review/Comment

In November 2004, Chris Dunker began to photograph the Geneva Steel Works in Vineyard, Utah at the onset of its demolition. Within three years the largest steel production facility located west of the Mississippi ceased to exist. Dunker documented the vacated spaces, silenced machinery, and advancing destruction of this once productive facility. His expressive photographs compose an evocative visual elegy of an industry that profoundly shaped the life of Utah County throughout the twentieth century. Exhibition Preview: Thursday, March 13 7:00pm-9:00pm

    I am so excited to find out that Chris Dunker has photographed the Geneva Steel Plant. Every time I drove down Geneva Road during the dismantling and saw the smoke stacks silouetted against the sunset, I would think "I'd love to go out there and photograph all of it". But I'm just a middle-aged woman who is not in a position to do such a project. I'm so happy to find out there is someone who did!! I can't wait to go and see the exhibit! I'll let you know what I think! Collapse
