Disconnect

Photographer Adam Satushek isn’t a tree hugger. “I never went out planning to shoot trees and houses,” he says. But in assessing his own work of the past five years, trees seemed to be growing out of, well, telephone poles, as in his photo Pole. In fact, Satushek’s current exhibit, “Disconnect” (through August 1), zooms in on the awkward relationship between the natural environment and the human-created landscape we lay on top of it. There’s desecration, then there’s bizarre mimicry: See the industrial warehouse designed to look like three detached houses plopped down in the middle of some landscaping, as in Warehouses. Though his show features only six simple images, one gets a sense of the grand scale of his ideas through his subjects’ Big-Mac proportions. Could I please supersize that photo to, say, 23 square feet? Gallery4Culture, 101 Prefontaine Place S., 296-7580, www.4culture.org. Free. 9 a.m.–5 p.m. JOSHUA LYNCH
