    About The Work

    Created exclusively for PA Magazine, an annual publication with a focus on critical and visual dialogue between contemporary photographers, Island II exemplifies the lush, haunting style of multimedia artist Doug Aitken. The shadowed outline of a lone figure against an exotic landscape lends itself to the otherworldly disposition of the work. The distant, yet eerie quality of the blurred focus is an example of Aitken’s cinematographic artistry at work, provoking the viewer with the sensation of having stumbled upon a private moment. The structure of the furniture—white, modern and architectural, is at odds with the dream-like vibrancy of the jungle greens. This contrast between modernity and timeless landscape, a common theme in Aitken’s work, makes this piece especially compelling.
