À propos
This exhibition comprises a series of photo and video montages using the artist’s own photographs of landscapes and objects, together with skies appropriated from Krieghoff’s paintings. The altered images are then rendered for side-by-side stereoscopic viewing.
Also part of the installation are reproductions of Krieghoff’s paintings on antique viewing cards, and a series of kaleidoscopes.
The work responds to the ambiguity of the photographic record, adjusting the landscape much like Krieghoff did through genre painting. The artist ruminates on perceptions of place, on objects subject to change, on rendered reality, notions of veracity, staged moments, authenticity and appropriation, as well as on the ecology of forest management. Her manipulations resonate with the Zeitgeist of accelerated environmental and economic change.
Ingrid Mayrhofer (BFA, MA, York University Toronto) majored in photography and printmaking. She has exhibited in Canada and abroad, has worked in art education and community art, and initiated a number of international exchanges with artists in Mexico, Cuba, Serbia and Chile. http://www.ingridmayrhofer.ca/culturenature.html documents her ongoing intervention with culture and nature in Tay Township, west of Orillia.
The artist gratefully acknowledges the support of an Ontario Arts Council Mid-Career grant and an Exhibition Assistance Grant for this project.
