YOUNG GIRL IN A COVERED-SNOW FIELD (RAWDON) by Gilles Tarabiscuité (Canada)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I use photography as a means of interpretation and of reconstruction. My goal is not one of depicting reality from a seemingly objective stance. I am definitively not a photographer who uses photography as a mirror of reality. Rather, I try to compose images with a (mostly) realistic appearance but with modifications and augmentations that result in a slightly confusing atypia. I want my photos to look "real" while featuring something that is slightly askew, making them both real and fictional.
There are many tenuous connections and odd realities that truly fascinate me. Some of these include the holographic principle in physics, the concept of verisimilitude, the ever present question of truth and falsehood, and a undeniable attraction to the strange. All of which harks back to my enchantment with the bizarre, which I was drawn to years ago, among the curious collectors of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
