Cool Hunting
Sarah Anne Johnson’s second extended project, The Galapagos Project, is based on ecological volunteer tourism in the Galapagos Islands. Like her first highly acclaimed project Tree Planting, she continues to explore the themes of idealism and nature. What has made her projects particularly unique is that although she predominantly uses photography, she also blends in sculpting and painting.
Johnson's photographs were taken over two separate trips while living and working with other volunteers in an agricultural rehabilitation mission on the Galapagos Islands. In some situations she did not have her camera but was able to remember these moments visually or emotionally. In these instances she recreates the scenes with clay figures and dioramas, which were then photographed or included as part of her exhibition. Her show mixes photographs of both real (above left) and constructed (above right) scenes.
See more images of her work here. The Galapagos Project runs until June 9th at Stephen Bulger Gallery in Toronto.

Photographer Leigh Davis, dividing her time between New York and Montréal, editorial work (for publications such as The New York Times Magazine, Tokion and Res) and clients such as American Eagle Outfitters, Bruce Mau Design, and Carnegie Mellon University, is a very busy woman. Lucky for us she's managed to find time to finish up one of her current projects titled "Ensemble." It's a...
Vancouver photographer Scott McFarland uses his pictures to rethink the traditional concept of a photograph as a single moment in time. By photographing the same location in the same scale over a period of time, he uses digital technology to combine selected elements into the final image. (Click above images for detail.) His most recent series called "Works on Paper" features new inkjet photographs...
In early 2003, photographer and writer Tom Schutyser traveled in a West-East direction along the Silk Road documenting the sights he saw along the way. The resulting show, "Caravanserais a Metaphor," is a photographic glimpse of his journey from Iran through Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan to China, shot in black and white. Opening last week at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture Paris Val-de-Seine in...
by Paolo Ferrarini of Future Concept Lab Currently exhibiting the powerful work of Simon Denny, in the scope of young Italian art galleries, T293 Gallery in Naples, is one of the most promising. Owners and curators Paola Guadagnino and Marco Altavilla constantly search for artists able to convey strong ideas, not just style, which Denny does successfully with his installation "Watching Videos Dry." Dedicated to...
Photographer and CH contributing writer Jonah Samson's photographs of sex-driven miniatures on display at Seattle's G. Gibson Gallery are controversy writ small. Selected from his series "Pleasantville," the photos are part of the group exhibition entitled "View Master," featuring photographers Lori Nix and Grace Weston, who also make use of the creepy realism of dioramas in their work. Where Nix' desolate scenes suggest countless...
by Julie Wolfson A physical exegesis of the album Dark Night of the Soul, controversial filmmaker David Lynch collaborated with the album's creators—Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse—to create a two-room installation at the Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. The intermingling of the music and photos was no accident. A huge fan of Lynch, Danger Mouse approached the filmmaker about working together on a project. Lynch,...
