ExhibitionsLaura Letinsky: Still Life Photographs 1997–2012
September 16, 2013 - January 19, 2014
Oscillating between flatness and volume, story and metaphor, Laura Letinsky’s still life photographs challenge us to keep looking and to ask questions about how we see.
The unexpected shifts of scale and playful illusions of space in Letinsky’s pictures are most pronounced in her recent work.
She abandons traditional concepts of space, choosing instead to tape, pin or glue cut-out images of food and other objects to large sheets of paper, which she then photographs.
In these images, the usual lines between real and imagined worlds are not only blurred, but tied into puzzling knots.
