We've had a hard time getting these images out of our head. And there's a good reason for that -- they spent a long time brewing in someone else's head.
British-born Hugo Tillman spent two years in China, interviewing leading artists. The conversations ranged around their philosophies, fantasies, and their childhoods. From those conversations, Tillman constructed a full-sized set, a sort of 3-D map of the inner psyche. Then he invited the artists to perform a scene within that set. And then he shot his images. An unexpected, fascinating idea, no?
The results can be seen in Los Angeles at the DF2 gallery beginning this Saturday through October 13 in an exhibit called "Film Stills of the Mind." You can see some of the images at the gallery's website and learn more about Tillman at his site.
