Contact Sheet 139: Perception and Deception - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This catalogue features the work of British photographer Rik Pinkcombe. The images of his series, Perception and Deception, were taken mostly in the Syracuse area. They have been digitally distorted and manipulated to represent the way that people's vision can become altered by outside pressures and influences such as consumerism, religion, government, education, and sports. One of the main themes behind Pinkcombe's work is identity he is particularly interested in how outside influences affect who people are. In some photographs he looks at racial identity through images of borders, bridges, and traffic stops, which link communities and also symbolize immigration and emigration. He also creates what he calls theater images, where the photographs are manipulated and stripped of so much information that they begin to look like film sets, theater sets, or models.
