Corridor II
Craig Kalpakjian American
Not on view
The eerily lit interiors in Kalpakjian’s pictures do not exist in three-dimensional reality. Devoid of human presence, these virtual spaces were created on the computer with architectural design programs such as Form Z and Lightscape. The artist begins by drawing a simple model on the screen, using the imaging software to manipulate light, shadow, tone, and surface texture. Finally, he selects a view of the virtual space and renders the resulting image as a photographic print. This shadowy institutional corridor, with its vaguely unsettling feeling of airlessness, offers an apt metaphor for the sterile functionality of contemporary bureaucratic culture.
