Jörn Vanhöfen’s “Aftermath”

In one of Jörn Vanhöfen’s large-scale photographs, a peaceful marina full of small boats is dwarfed by a passing cruise ship, its lights glowing in the morning (or evening) light. In another, a seemingly abandoned house appears to be sinking into the surrounding desert landscape. Both of these images are part of Vanhöfen’s series entitled “Aftermath,” and while they raise questions about what came before, so do they make me consider what’s to come. Thankfully, these weighty inquiries are at times lightened by Vanhöfen’s sense of humor. A selection from “Aftermath” will be on exhibit at New York’s Robert Mann Gallery as of this Thursday, March 15th.

Light Sculptures by Makoto Tojiki

Japanese artist Makoto Tojiki works primarily with light, exploring its use in installations, figurative sculptures, as well as kinetic pieces. His No Shadow works shown above are among my favorite, using long strands of lights to create representations of people and animals.
