Cinemascapes II - An Ecstatic Form of Disappearance

Shot in locations used by the film industry for their geological similarity to other places in the world, the landscapes become a representation based on a fallacy. Bathed in light and hidden in darkness, the photographs are constructed as so, emphasising the emptiness of the scene. For the action to unfold, the image calls upon the viewer to play out their own scene whilst tapping into iconic moments from our collective memory of Science Fiction and Fantasy Epic films.
