Helen Verbanz Landscape & DecoyThe photo-video installation, "Landscape & Decoy", is an exploration of illusory still and moving images based on my reflections on the post-industrial environment. I am interested in how the formal elements embody a sense of immateriality. Objects and images are fluid, merging and shifting between the real and the imagined, dream and fantasy, becoming a tabular rasa for projection. The decoy and photograph share similar attributes, as they both possess the power to lure and capture the viewer toward demise or escape. |
