Mike Osbornes Floating Island revolves around a community bordering Utah and Nevada. Once home to an important World War II aviation training facility, the town is now a gaming destination with five sprawling casinos. Time Magazine describes Floating Island as an eerie embrace of the present and past revealed only on dark, moonless nights.
Mike Osborne was born in San Antonio, Texas, and currently lives in Washington, DC, where he is an Assistant Professor at Georgetown University. His work in photography touches on a range of themes including architecture, landscape, history, and technology, ultimately taking the form of books and exhibitions.
