TERRAFORMING
Samantha Salzinger
Jan 30 - Feb 27, 2016 | Box Gallery
Terraforming, a solo exhibition by Samantha Salzinger, is a collection of created environments that involve the spectator in a subjective relation to the landscape, through fabricated photographs. There is a boundlessness that is evoked in the sublime – a limitlessness that supersedes us. Beyond the nature of our judgment and dignity, we become aware of ourselves in the face of the wonder, awe, and terror in this aesthetic experience. With a sense of greatness, limitations, aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, and failings – with all the different dimensions of what it means to be human, the sublime can act as a mirror of the infinite. The images ask the viewer to consider the human experience and ponder our origins, our destiny, and our place in the universe.
