Photography’s technical and operational development is inseparable from political conflict. In the mid-1950s, top US military and intelligence officials believed that innovations in aerial photography for reconnaissance were necessary to assess Soviet weapons capabilities, all while avoiding radar detection. The result of this photographic desire would be a dramatic technological leap forward in high-altitude, high-speed aircraft equipped with complex camera systems created from partnerships between government agencies, corporations, and academia. The spy planes developed for Cold War photoreconnaissance missions were the U-2 and its supersonic successor, Oxcart (also known as the SR-71). As I was researching the U-2 and Oxcart programs as well as other covert operations, I came across many photographs of supersonic aircraft. Given the fast shutter speeds used to capture jets in transonic flight, they appear floating, perfectly still. Inspired by the link between supersonic aircraft and photographic technology, I began to experiment with manipulating the photographs using audio software. This process resulted in pictures that convey a heightened sense of kinetic energy and the passage of time. - E. H.
