Miklos Gaál
"I am interested in creating alternative aspects on perceptions we have become accustomed to."Gaál is best known for his perspective controlled "miniature" cityscapes. Although they can be considered formal landscapes, the photos give a fresh look at the strange group behaviors of people within such a confined area. Suddenly, colonial parades, dog parks, protests and shopping frenzies become abnormal rituals that make the viewer feel as if they're analyzing another species.
Gaál's photographs give the illusion of a constructed reality, however they are in fact documentary in nature. Nothing has been added to the scene and nothing has been altered with the exception of in-camera perspective. In essence, Gaál is working in a manner opposite of mine. However, the great expanses that he chooses to photograph and the questions that are raised about the truthfulness of each photo are strikingly similar. His use of activities that would be, on ground level, pretty normal, intrigues me.
