Apocalypse II
1967
27.0 x 34.0 cm
Photographer Jerry Uelsmann is well-known for creating composite photographs using elaborate combinations of multiple negatives. In this photograph, Uelsmann represents an unreal scene in which silhouetted figures stand on a shore and gaze out at a symmetrical tree that rises out of the white water. By relying on the perception that photographs depict an unmediated version of reality, Uelsmann’s seamless composite photograph plays with the viewer’s expectations of landscape photography.

Jerry Uelsmann: fotografo innovativo e visionario, pioniere del photomontaggio surrealista. La sua arte oscura e suggestiva ha rivoluzionato la fotografia negli anni '60.
