James Casebere is an American artist that specializes in constructed
photography. His pieces range from table-sized constructs made with simple
materials, to large-scale instillations. His works are eerily realistic and it
is difficult to tell if the places photographed are real or constructed
environments. Some of his works that stand out to me are ‘Interrogation Room’
with its lone chair sitting in the cold, damp confines of the cell creating a
rather haunting atmosphere. ‘Cell #1, Cell #2 and
Cell #3’
because they are so damn claustrophobic. ‘Tunnel #2’
because the corridor seems to go on and on without end. ‘Yellow hallway #2’
for the way the water distorts the tiled floor. And finally ‘Western street’
because it looks like a creepy little town you might end up in if you were in a
horror film (it reminds me of the town in the film ‘House Of Wax’)
