| Summary: | Joost Tholens is fascinated by the abstraction of photography. For him, although it holds true that photography essentially entails making an image, it is hardly about making a representation of reality. Photography is about what something looks like after it has been photographed. In his reconstructed reality, Tholens composes pieces of visible reality through images that are mirrored, repeated and distorted. The collection of works in this book seem to place the viewer at a rational and emotional distance from a recognizable reality, thereby initiating a potentially complicated visual and associative play, with implications for meaning, cognition and emotion within photography. |
