With clever software, Marcel Wesdorp crafts prints and animations of tundras, steppes, and deserts. The virtual landscapes are desolate and empty. Their appearance relies on measuring and weighing. Digital manipulation underlies profile, relief, and atmosphere. A carefully composed illusionary world in light gray tones creates the illusion of immense expanse. Distant horizons and high skies emphasize the inaccessibility of the vista. The hyper-realistic space entices and frightens. In these abandoned regions, every orientation falls apart. But the aimlessness is not hopeless. Marcel Wesdorp's artistic design meets an aesthetic need. Even the most barren non-place provides the seasoned observer with pleasure as a work of art.
