Selected Works — Cory Zimmerman

A Post-Documentary Archive and Conceptual Art Repository (2014–2026)

A comprehensive index of site-specific archives, visual plates, environmental typologies, and photographic sequences examining spatial degradation, structural trauma, and the social ecology of the periphery.

Core Theoretical & Methodological Pillars:

  • Plates: The unadulterated photographic and acoustic record. Raw physical evidence, field recordings, and visual artifacts captured under the parameters of automated command and autonomous systems.
  • Theory: An examination of structural trauma, spatial degradation, and the clinical mechanics of the middle distance.
  • Methodology: The subversion of traditional documentary evidence through delegated logistics and systematic field modeling.
  • Objects: Material manifestations of containment, automated command, and the mechanized apparatus of war.

Featured long-form projects include The Machine, The Medium of War, The Silent Migration, and chronological site surveys logged from 2014 to the present.
