ficticious exhibition

Olivio Barberi









Thomas Demand



James Welling








Tim Head





Allison & Alexander





Hugo Arcier







Andres Serrano





Oliver Boberg







It should be mentioned that all of these artists work with the constructed landscape and none photograph the real landscape except for Olivio Barberi, which is kind of funny because only his landscapes actually look like they are fake.

Hugo Arcier on his 3D sculptures

"Recreating nature in 3D. An absurd idea?
Yes, an absurd idea, but an idea of our time.
As I have already explained, capturing the real is very expensive and today, in some cases it is becoming cheaper to reproduce nature in 3D.

Reality is no longer cheap enough.
A synthetic nature is gradually replacing it."

I have always wished to make art involving spaces as private and as telling as these.

Real aerial landscape photography that has a tendency to be seductive and look like paint although it is all documentation of ecological atrocities.

This is a project for a photo class. It is to be a collection of things I discover throughout the semester that relate to, and influence my work. The work will probably revolve around the theme of the contemporary landscape, or anti-landscape.
