Essay by Lyle Rexer

My photographs are composites of multiple-image fragments that I digitally manipulate and combine, including both images that I have photographed myself and found images. By combining different elements, my objective is to create artificial scenarios that appear vaguely familiar and produce numerous associations. I want to evoke a sense of familiarity that will seduce the viewer into allowing his or her own experience, imagination, and understanding of existing popular imagery to become tools for interpreting my work.
Simen Johan

Simen Johan creates surreal and narrative tableaux of corrupted youth.
His images of children and adolescents are constructed by digitally
manipulating and combining parts of faces and bodies belonging to
people of various ethnicities, ages, and genders. His fictional
identities are depicted in equally fabricated scenarios that are
replete with references to both the art historical tradition and
Freudian sexuality. The poster-perfect finish of his prints belies the
disturbing nature of their content; a pubescent girl hula hoops
against an idyllic seaside backdrop, as the hoop leaves bruises on her
waist; an androgynous teenager cradles the head of a dead sheep on
which flies are beginning to land.

Вот тут картинок довольно много и тексты имеются.

Johan's work can be seen online at www.simenjohan.com. His solo shows
will be opening at The National Gallery in Lithuania in March and the
Trondheim Art Museum, Norway, in October.

Ранние работы:

And Nothing Was to Be Trusted 1994-1999

In his early black and white series, Simen Johan creates children by
digitally manipulating and combining parts of different faces and
bodies belonging to people of various ethnicities, ages and genders.
His fictional identities are depicted in equally fabricated settings.

!!! Что любопытно:

The digital images are transferred on to 4x5 photographic negative
film and then printed and toned conventionally in a traditional
darkroom. The resulting photographic quality contributes to a
deceptive sense of familiarity and nostalgia and contradicts the
general expectations of most computer-manipulated imagery.

Угу. Англичане вот сейчас на него запали, интервью читал в совсем
новом журнале; если смотреть биографию, откуда я ссылки повыдергивал,
так там просто очень много статей.

У Алексея на диске две упаковки картинок, которые Игорь приносил.
Много экзотики.

Удачи!
