 "Where the West Begins!"



WENDOVER is Oliver Dahl's second published photographic exploration of a small town, a sequel to the series debut, ARCO. The book (and accompanying NFT collection) features a combination of digital and analog photography, paired with stories and history from this town in the Great Salt Lake Desert. From gambling and speed racing to scuba diving and bombing ranges, Wendover is much more than just a sleepy city by the salt flats.

This photo series is the result of 5 different dedicated trips throughout the last year in each of the four seasons. It explores the effects of connection and separation that result from borders and distance, while crafting an honest, raw, and liminal depiction of the gambling town "oasis" of Wendover.

Initial collectors will be sent signed copies of the physical book upon release.

Additional copies can be purchased at www.oliverdahl.com/wendover.

Oliver Dahl - WENDOVER

Edition of 15

Wendover Will is an iconic landmark of Wendover. Named after William Smith, founder of the Stateline Casino, it was built by Pat Denner in 1952. Towering 63 feet tall, with over 1,000 feet of neon tubing, Will is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as "The World's Largest Mechanical Cowboy." The caption at his base once marked the self-proclaimed place "Where the West Begins." It now welcomes visitors to the city of West Wendover, Nevada. 

This image, taken on a Mamiya 645 1000S medium format film camera, using Kodak Portra 160 film, was used as the cover image for my [photo book](http://www.oliverdahl.com/store/p72/wendover.html) entitled "WENDOVER," a body of work documenting the relationship between Wendover, Utah and West Wendover, Nevada.
