The mechanical world, the electronic world and the opportunity to run into the digital age. It all has a nice flow.
Twenty,thirty odd years ago I had photographic /ideas that I just couldn’t create it was “I wish I could change that recreate that into this…… and then put it all back together again…… change day into night add a glimmer of light and open a new door.
Well it all came to fruition and now it is time to construct a ovoo at geckostrands followed by a stone wall that travels longer than a journey and slides into the earth..time that slips into a never ending snapshot of what can be.

time spent in the garden of Imants will help anyone expand their thinking…

tight boxes are a problem…open skies, open minds, open doors are the solution…

cheers, david

2 of my favorite story tellers in one day!….boris and now Imants…and i just randomly happen to check in today! :)))))

Impossible to look at this brief (very) selection without thinking of the extraordinary books (like scrolls or tissue and tendon stitched together) that Imants produces with his images and words…..

where other see ‘tortured’ art(ist), i see a man so totally in love with the breaking apart and putting together again of things, that i see only a joyeous kid or stone builder…and what else are we but constructors and wanderers….

happy to see this here! :)

Been lost all my life. That’s why I’m a photographer. Probably true for lots of photographers.

By that I mean that it is the most straightforward (to me) photographically, and therefore accessible to me. I’m a photographer: this is more.

I’m with John: this work needs to be seen in the flesh; the internet view is much too small.

I would LOVE for Imants to explain the meaning (his meaning) behind this work, although I doubt that he will. I do like it: intriguing. Thanks, Imants.

Mike.

Quite like the monkey, boobs and legs one so maybe there is hope for me.

( I assume there is a physical version)

On another recent Burn essay I commented that the title sounded too “New Age.” Here, do we have Old Age? On the other hand, wouldn’t Rayleene — is that her name? — simply say, “artsy-fartsy, mate!”? Me, I like no. 6, but is that an obligatory comment?

Best, Mieczysław

I feel like the guy in the last frame….lost.
I can just enjoy these for their aesthetic beauty without understanding them….perhaps that’s the point…
My favorite is #2 by far.

This is buried beneath another post. It says it was posted on the 17th??!?!
Just saw it this morning.
Really hard to see and get to it….I scrolled down by chance.

Anyways….awesome work Imants!
