ABOUT THE SERIES
If you would have taken the element of depth from any random part of the world, stretching in its vastness across a limitless space, it would instantly change into a tiny miniature not having much to do with reality. These places would become their own simulacrums, products of the synthesis between the actual locations and their virtual miniaturizations. Even more – the newly formed images, now reminiscent of accurately constructed models, would question every single distinguishing element between the real and the imaginary, the authentic and the fake.
On Aleš Bravničar's photographs objects, places and spaces take on idealized appearances, saturated with intimacy and innocence. By using this technique the author achieves the ultimative deconstruction of watching and seeing through hyperreality of his newly generated world. It is all more real than Baudrillard and more fake than Disneyland. Welcome to the Matrix – or maybe its miniature model.
