Cassander Eeftinck Schattenkerk
Dutch artist Cassander Eeftinck Schattenkerk is a photographer living and working in Amsterdam. Though his images may seem like a product of some space age excursion or abstract chemistry experiment, all of his work comes from exploration of his immediate are and surroundings.
‘After making many landscape photographs I realized the search for special places is more important than the place itself. I use a “National Geographic” language essentially without leaving my hometown’.
To create these images Cassander explains ‘I often choose material that has a perishable or unpredictable quality, like foam or spaghetti. No Photoshop is used to achieve the effects. The artificial and the real, and the different sources the image is based on, should be present simultaneously’.
