Vintage gelatin silver print
cm 27,8 x 35,5 (cm 20 x 25 picture) | 10.9 x 13.9 in. (7.8 x 9.8 in. picture)
Edition 1 of 25
Every work by Les Krims appears orderly and composed, yet it is infused with a sense of logical disorientation and linguistic slippage. The artist’s visionary approach leads the viewer into a world where every scene seems staged, much like a theatrical set—a perception that proves accurate. Playing between reality and fiction, and placing visual evocations of a pastime (such as How many things can you find wrong with this picture? #1, Buffalo, New York, reminiscent of the crossword puzzles) on the same level as a crime scene reconstruction, the photographer humorously critiques American society’s myths, rituals, and the fragile values of its lifestyle.
