Rick Buckley

British artist Rick Buckley (b. 1962) lives and works in Berlin. His smokey distopic works in black & white digital film explore the vanishing line between reality and fiction. He refers to an incidental virtual-ness where the construct of an environment occurs through his manipulation of a given view point. Buckley transforms everyday objects into towering monoliths or disaster landscapes panning his camera closely across gem-stones and navigating through labyrinths of carefully constructed material. It’s fragility emphasised by its transformation from micro to monumental.
