For more than two decades now James Casebere has merged the disciplines of photography, sculpture, installation and conceptual art to form a unique vision of our physical surroundings. Casebere's photographs are two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional table-top sets and models that the artist painstakingly constructs in his studio and eventually illuminates with theatrical lighting. Through the lens of Casebere's camera, these dramatically lit models often, in more cases than not, appear to be actual structures and mimic the appearance of archetypal institutions - home, school, library, prison, asylum - or archetypal architectural tropes - tunnel, corridor, archway, arena - all the while transforming the familiar aspects of contemporary life into extraordinary tableaux. | | |
