David Burdeny: back to Artist
Artist Statement
“These images were collected slowly over the past few years as singular events. Seen here, curated as a whole, they are evocative of a time long gone, a moment in history, places we imagine or imagine to be. I see them as part of the limen, thresholds between then and now which connect us to the basic human condition of ephemerality, the notion that nothing lasts forever. Printed in large format, the scenes are a confection with infinite depth and layered vantage points that invite the viewer to re-read them over time – questioning where you are and what you see.”
