CJ Heyliger: VVVVVVVVVVVVV

CJ Heyliger photographs a wide variety of landscapes—from vast desert regions to shimmering expanses of ocean—but their exact locales matter less to him than the camera’s ability to reveal their alien beauty and hallucinatory detail. Heyliger’s approach to mapping these places on film reduces them to their most basic elements—simply light and time. His nearly abstract black-and-white images challenge us to see familiar subjects in entirely new ways and wield an uncanny power to conjure up the topographies of personal memory.​
