Henrik Isaksson Garnell’s ‘In Treatment’ Series

Photographer Henrik Isaksson Garnell “sculpts” his imagery with natural elements such as bones and plant matter, manmade objects, digital effects, and electronic ephemera. The result includes his new series “In Treatment,” a meditation on psychotherapy. The work moves between the cerebral and the surreal.

“A series about the psychotherapeutic process,” the artist says of the series. “Our anger, guilt, ego and shame baptized in this body of work. The sifting through memories and emotions like records. Each piece symbolizes and confronts a demon with certain set of skills. Dealing with the different questions like: How can you reach an understanding with your hate? If I don’t trust my past decisions, will I be able to trust my future ones? Why am I lying to myself? Not only a series about what’s sick but also about the start of a healing process.”

Lebanese photographer Lara Zankoul's fairytale-esque series "The Unseen" looks like it could have been the result of some clever PhotoShop, but in reality the artist created her imaginative, underwater scenes by inviting models to submerge themselves in a human-scale fish tank. Outfitted like a retro domestic interior, the glass box provided a nostalgic setting for Zankoul to stage cheeky scenarios of subaquatic home life. A process video reveals her models climbing into the tank from a ladder in their pristine formalwear. The resulting photographs allow viewers to suspend disbelief and immerse themselves in Zankoul's whimsical narratives.

Vitor Schietti Uses Long Exposure Photography to Create the Illusion of Trees Ablaze

Brazilian-photographer Vitor Schietti uses fireworks to create images of illuminated trees and dancing patterns in his series "Impermanent Sculptures." To produce the images, the artist sets off fireworks at twilight. When the light is just right, Schietti uses a long exposure camera. The effect is semi-painterly and always captivating. The method comes from the artist's interest in the moment of change or transformation, as well as the sociological question of how microscopic elements reflect the greater, macroscopic world. To this effect, the trees ablaze represent dual destruction and illumination. Though people and governments take climate change under serious consideration, we continue to destroy our shared environment. The burning tree is an all-too common phenomena in an age of extreme weather and drought, but it is also an ancient symbol shared across cultures. Captured in a photograph by Schiette, the burning tree inspires ominous feelings of both awe and doom.
