ROBERT ORCHARDSON

“Robert Orchardson’s works on paper overprint photographs of epic landscapes from National Geographic magazines with black geometric forms and filigree lines. These abstract “structures” suggest giant otherworldly monuments or stills from science fiction films. Like Orchardson’s sculptural works, the reprocessed prints propose an imaginary architecture reminiscent of the utopian collages by Superstudio architects or the Gläserne Kette group.” (Henri Dietz, 2009)
