Ruud van Empel: Theatre at the SDMA

Van Empel is best known for his images of children set within elaborate environments. In the panoramic landscapes in this exhibition, these settings move from the background to the foreground. The artist made the source photographs for these pictures on his travels, from botanical gardens in his native Netherlands to California’s Joshua Tree National Park, capturing daytime and nocturnal scenes of the forest and desert. These dreamlike landscapes invite viewers to step inside and to perceive the world with fascination and even disbelief as they ponder photography’s relationship to truth.
