Using Ansel Adams’s Zone System—a system developed by the photographer in which the exposure of the negative, its chemical processing, and final printing are numerically calibrated, resulting in a kind of analog metadata—’PPPP’ looks to photographs of mountains, Adams’s quintessential subject, to explore what it means when an image looks like itself in the abstract (in its histogram, or the graph representing the distribution of color values in the image).
