LANDSCAPES AND OBJECTS
Landscapes and objects – large scale and small. The depth of focus in a photograph often determines into which category we will place a subject. We have become used to this interpretation through photographs and film and television images. With their out of focus foregrounds and backgrounds these landscape shots seem to be photographs of maquettes; objects, on the contrary, are photographed sharp from front to back. The model and reality switch places, and everything the viewer has to go on visually is lost in Luijendijk’s images.
