Johansson Projects presents a three-person show
in which landscape, seascape and dreamscape melt into a new sub-human habitat.
 Through the use of photography and video with varying degrees of analog
and digital effects, Brice Bischoff, Tabitha Soren and Ellen Black manipulate
environments, creating uncanny exaggerations and projections of what could
exist. Bischoff's large format ‘Bronson Caves’ prints use long exposure to
create an equation in which performance and photography produce a perceived
object.  The blurred, saturated colors that become the subject in his
photographs lend a striking contrast to the dark, mystic Bronson Caves, which
have been the set of many films and television shows.  Tabitha Soren
captures the sublime quality of the ocean in her 'Panic Beach' series, skewing
accepted perspective and placing the viewer in a foreboding yet awesome
position.  Ellen Black’s video collages expose the flawed side of the
virtual world.  Her digital apocalyptic landscapes are only separated from
the physical world by the geodesic architectural protrusions in which the
videos are embedded.
Show runs until October 15, 2011
