Title: Land
Description: Land' is a construction, or one could say a destruction of a landscape that once was or will be. Rather than showing the observable sites of talc stone quarries in the Pyrenees Van Severen aims to transmit the energy of its transformation. The human intervention, either subtle of defining, characterizes het images. By using de/construction as a photographic technique, 'Land' sprouts a new world, a landscape detached from its original context, where notions of distance, size and scale become relative and elusive.
