Tiny Fantasy
“Keever’s staged scenery is characterized by a psychology of timelessness. A combination of the real and the imaginary, they document places that somehow we know, but never were. The symbolic qualities he achieves result from his understanding of the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, Keever fabricates an illusion to conjure the realms of our imagination.” – Kinz & Tilloun Fine Art
Kim Keevers fotografiert selbst konstruierte Miniaturlandschaften in einem 900-Liter Wassertank. Fantasielandschaften, die man sonst nur von der Malereien oder direkt aus erdachten Märchenwelten kennt. Jedes Diorama ist akribisch genaue Feinstarbeit, die an die Phase der Romantik oder auch der Hudson River School, im Amerika Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts erinnert.
