About the Item

My artwork explores photographic perception and the physical and cultural formation of place. I am interested in photography’s ability to be both evidence of existence—creating an image with seeming veracity—and simultaneously, a system to mediate and construct reality. I use photography as a tool to observe and then digitally combine my photographs to construct imaginary spaces that through metaphor and illusion reveal both the desire and simulacrum present around us and within photography itself. Culling through thousands of individual photographs I make of architecture and landscaping, I digitally assemble these sources to create photographs of fictional spaces. Most of my digital collages are seamless enough so that on first glance they appear real and slowly through observation reveal their constructed, composited nature. My images are not documents of reality, but they could be thought of as documents of our contemporary, post-modern reality. -- Leigh Merrill
