32820

​

When our experiences are being mediated and shaped through virtual realities and planned communities, it is important to re-examine the context and effect of escapism, artifice, and the suspension of disbelief in architecture and planned landscapes. 32830’s imagery depicts landscapes through which humans escape while engaging fantasy, early memories, and visions of ideal states of being. As the boundaries between fantasy and the everyday begin to dissolve the two begin to merge creating a confused and insulating affect. 32830 is an ongoing project that explores the nexus of these converging realities by recording the dioramas, facades, and the translated fabrications of fairytale landscapes found in Florida.
