MULTIVERSE

Planet Earth, 2018

We are accustomed to thinking that we see the world as it is. But color does not belong unconditionally to reality; it emerges through perception. A different visual system could transform the same landscape into an entirely different visible world.

Photography only complicates this question. A camera also translates light into an image, and that translation seems natural only as long as it matches our expectations of what reality should look like.

The series disrupts this familiar correspondence. A shift in color makes a familiar landscape strange and invites us to imagine another possibility of seeing: what would this world look like to a different observer? Or to us, if our perception were constructed differently?
