Imagined Topographies
PHOTOGRAPHY, 2014
​There is something more real in the illusion than in the reality behind it.
​
Imagined Topographies examines the instability of perception and the constructed nature of representation. The series depicts small coastal rock formations - each no higher than a few centimeters - photographed from ground level to evoke the scale and presence of monumental landscapes. By displacing the viewer’s sense of proportion, the work exposes the mechanisms through which photographic vision mediates reality. The resulting images oscillate between documentation and invention, suggesting that illusion may hold a deeper fidelity to experience than the literal record.
​
Positioned between the factual and the fabricated, Imagined Topographies engages with questions of truth, scale, and interpretation, inviting reflection on how seeing becomes an act of imagination.
