Bill Jacobson’s (Untitled) #3591 portrays a road extending toward the horizon, its surface and edges dissolved into soft haze so that landscape becomes atmosphere rather than record. The image resists legibility, foregrounding photography’s capacity to evoke uncertainty and impermanence. Numbered sequentially within Jacobson’s Untitled series (1999–2001), the photograph belongs to a vast body of work that privileges accumulation over singularity. The numerical title avoids description, insisting on continuity across the series and echoing his later when is place photographs. Together, these strategies define Jacobson’s sustained inquiry into the instability of vision and the shifting ways photography shapes our sense of place.Inquire
