Step into an evocative world of constructed realities and surrealist staging with Paisajes del deseo<\/em> (Landscapes of Desire), a captivating collaborative photography monograph by Thomas Brenner and Arthur Tress.<\/strong> Published in 1992 by Sala Parpall\u00f3 & Edicions Alfons El Magn\u00e0nim, this rare bilingual exhibition catalogue brings together two distinct, avant-garde photographic visions. Rather than capturing the world as it exists, Brenner and Tress meticulously construct landscapes of what they want<\/em> to see, using staging, wit, and deliberate visual clutter to navigate themes of memory, environment, and human inclination.<\/p>\n

Synopsis<\/h3>\n

Paisajes del deseo<\/em> acts as a dual looking glass into two heavily composed, highly imaginative artistic styles. Thomas Brenner contributes hyper-arranged, complexly orchestrated scenes of people and places that carry a bizarre, often satirical edge. Alongside him, legendary American surrealist photographer Arthur Tress introduces selections from his acclaimed Fish Tank Sonata<\/em> series\u2014featuring intricate aquarium sculptures purposefully situated inside vast, contrasting natural landscapes. Together, their juxtaposed works challenge traditional photography and redefine the concept of landscape art.<\/p>\n
