Pictorial> Jim Kazanjian’s Victorian Apocalypse
Untitled (house), 2006. (Jim Kazanjian)
Jim Kazanjian doesn’t make photographs of buildings, he makes photographs into buildings. His assemblages of “found” structures create fantastic worlds that resemble the post-civilization wreckage of 19th century England. Â Through the collapse of time and expansion of space, each collage tells an eerie story about making the familiar unfamiliar.
