Raoul Gatepin
Is Raoul Gatepin a rogue anthropologist from another planet? He must have been sent here by some sinister space committee to study humanity through the lens of chilled objectivity—but it’s clear in Gatepin’s photography that he’s fallen under the spell of this planet’s sublime strangeness. His desolate, disorienting landscapes are somehow stunningly intimate, in spite of their silence. One series of odd architectural images, Piramid, calls upon a quote by the curmudgeonly hypothetical naturalist Henry David Thoreau to frame the work within a skeptical view of the everyday world. As you sink into Gatepin’s photos, however, the referenced cynicism seems little more than a sly pretense for the ugly beauty and accidental geometry he’s secretly sharing. Sure, humans are illogical, nearsighted beasts, but look how great their weird world can be!
