Surreal fine art with unexpected scenes and dreamlike compositions
What these pictures have in common is that none of them were faked afterwards. Rodney Smith never retouched anything. Alex Timmermans works with a process from the 1850s that does not allow it. Lara Zankoul builds her sets around a water tank and shoots them in one go. Whatever looks impossible was actually there.
Men in suits on diving boards, a rhino coming off a train, a room cut in half by the surface of the water. The work sits closer to Magritte than to reportage, and it tends to hold a wall on its own.
