The Wilderness Somewhere by Alison Luntz.
The New York-based photographerâs series In Spirit explores the gaps between where we are, where we want to be and who we want to see

In the bedroom of her apartment in Brooklyn, Alison Luntz has a large landscape photograph she took in 2018
on the Isle of Skye. A road snakes through dramatic, iridescent green hills. Last April, experiencing mild cabin fever from the Covid lockdown, the 34-year-old photographer decided to have some fun with the image. Positioning herself in front of the photograph, wearing
a woollen beanie, she
had her husband direct a fan so her red hair looked believably windswept and clicked a self-portrait. Two self-portraits actually: the first, a tighter crop, where it looked like she was in Scotland, posing with a spectacular view behind her; and a second, which showed she was really in Bushwick. Luntz then posted both on Instagram.
