Batuhan Keskiner: Wonderland
This series includes the artist’s nighttime photographs taken in a small suburb in Norway for six months. The town is unfathomably different from the artist’s habits, daily practices, and the crowded urban setting he was born into, and unrealistically peaceful. It is, almost, a Wonder Land. But the artist takes...
Philippe Braquenier: Earth Not a Globe
The continents float on an endless ocean which somehow has a layer of rock and fire underneath it. Earth is a disc under a glass dome and the lands we know are surrounded by an infinite wilderness of ice and snow, beyond the Antarctic ocean, bordered by a 150-foot-tall circular...
