Description

Josephson’s work plays with perception, here positioning depicted reality against the reality of depiction by photographing a drawing of the Tetons against the backdrop of the real mountains themselves. The ruler and hand appear to measure the mountains against their schematic, a humorous comment on the efficacy of using two-dimensional representation as a benchmark of three-dimensional reality.
