Viewpoint - Point Of View
The image is made from the perspective of the landscape; facing the viewpoint. This method of capturing contrasts with the traditional tourist photographs made at exactly those panoramic points that are laden with the promise of revealing the landscape in the best possible way. In Viewpoint - Point Of View this ideal view lies outside the range of the picture, the tourist panorma is precisely what the audience is denied. It is this 'frustration' that this work wishes to explore. The viewer looks at the gazing tourists from and along with the landscape and is thus thrown back on his own act of looking. Morevoer, he is obliged to cope with his unmet expectations and to constitute the landscape himself. After all, he gets no authoritative answer to the questions that this work evokes.
