L'oeil du tigre I

Bernard Voïta Swiss

Not on view

This sweeping landscape view of windblown waves of grain is, in fact, a close-up photograph of a piece of fur that Voïta shot in his studio. Like many of the artists in this exhibition, Voïta operates in the gap between truth and illusion. Starting from the premise that photographs shape and distort reality, he creates subtly disorienting pictures that are essentially about the processes of perception that the viewer brings to them.
