"IN WILDNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE WORLD"
WALDEN Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
Imaginitive Landscapes/Landscapes of the Imagination, is a series of images that shows the ways in which homeowners transform the landscape surrounding their dwellings. “While looking at these front yards and gardens it occurred to me that the fragments I was photographing could be felt and experienced as a modern day Arcadia. The owners themselves undoubtedly derive great pleasure from their creations, but if you put all these pieces of ‘Arcadia’ together in your imagination on a global scale, you encounter an enormously cultivated and surreal landscape.”
The landscape changes dramatically not only through industrialisation, urbanisation, globalisation and polution but also by "recreational gardeners" who create there own fictional arcadia. While looking at these front yards and gardens it occured to me that the fragments I was photographing could be felt and experienced as a modern day Arcadia. The owners themselves undoubtably derive great pleasure from their creations, but if you put all these pieces of "Arcadia" together in your imagination on a global scale, you encounter an enormously cultivated and surreal landscape.
A SELECTION OF THE ARCADIA REDESIGNED PROJECT WILL BE EXHIBITED ON THE MAIN EXHIBITION "THE EARTH" OF FOTOFEST HOUSTON. ALLEN CENTER ONE and TWO, HOUSTON, OPENING 12 March 2006.
A selection of these photographs were also included in the book and exhibition "DE LICHTE KAMER" 2005
