Emma Wieslander
Emma Wieslander uses her training as photographer as the basis for her research into the perception, depiction and description of nature, the limitations, transience and permanency of her practice being explored as much as the subject of her research. Recurring themes include: the articulation of the three dimensional field into the two dimensional plane and vice versa; the landscape in relation to visibility and change, especially as mediated by culture or technology; and ideas of vanishing, disappearing, the almost imperceptible, and the desires these lack of forms evoke. Through an experimental approach, often involving pictorial traditions and modern technology, she is interested in what might emerge in the process itself.

30cm x 30cm x 0.6cm
Arranged so the trees and the mirror outline frame the photograph, this strikingly emotive image gives the impression that our field of vision has been falsely propelled, as if we peer through the eye of a telescope. The bleak landscape reflects the sad frustration associated with the black mirror which where the image appears to have been separated, but is lost the moment it moves.
