Contested Ground is a photo series of landscapes and portraits by Art Academy of Cincinnati alumni photographers Taylor Dorrell and Cody Perkins that takes on the spatial and economic impact of Amazon facilities in Greater Cincinnati. A nod to the book that tracked the transformation of the West End of Cincinnati titled Contested Ground: Collective Action and the Urban Neighborhood, the series is a survey of the physical infrastructure of the online platform. In images like “2370 Graves Rd, KY” the faint memory of the former driveway of Perkins’ grandfather is replaced by warehouses; in “View of 275 Overpass from Graves Road,” a railing blocks what was once a bridge linking two rural roads; and housing developments like Fountain Park and Parkway Trails house workers at the nearby KCVG facility as Amazon Prime planes fly overhead. These spaces are also the terrain for workers engaged in a struggle to unionize, blending abstract issues of platform capitalism into the material world. Through color photography, Contested Ground mixes the economic, spatial, and class dynamics of the Amazon boom while employees in the Northern Kentucky facility seek union recognition and a fair contract.
