When I first saw these images I was instantly enthralled, I loved everything about them from the editing to the amount of surrealism within them. The work immediately catches my attention and holds me there for sometime whilst my eyes continues to wander the image and take in every inch of detail. Initially I had seen these images without a title and i found it hard to analysis the image and see the purpose behind them. Further research lead me to a site which had titles for some of the work and I also found a quote that Parke-Harrison made about his work and what they represent.
Below are the images, some with titles and the quote regarding this body of images.
Cloud Catcher
Edison's Light
Here Robert ParkeHarrison talks about his work:
"I want to make images that have open, narrative qualities, enough to suggest ideas about human limits. I want there to be a combination of the past juxtaposed with the moder. I use nature to symbolise the search, saving a tree, watering the earth. In this fabricated work, strange clouds of smog float by; there are holes in the sky. These mythic images mirror our world, where nature is domesticated, controlled, and destroyed. Through my work I explore technology and a poetry of existence. These can be very heavy, overly didactic issues to convey in art, so i choose to portray them through a more theatrically absurd approach."
