Jörn Vanhöfen’s “Aftermath”

In one of Jörn Vanhöfen’s large-scale photographs, a peaceful marina full of small boats is dwarfed by a passing cruise ship, its lights glowing in the morning (or evening) light. In another, a seemingly abandoned house appears to be sinking into the surrounding desert landscape. Both of these images are part of Vanhöfen’s series entitled “Aftermath,” and while they raise questions about what came before, so do they make me consider what’s to come. Thankfully, these weighty inquiries are at times lightened by Vanhöfen’s sense of humor. A selection from “Aftermath” will be on exhibit at New York’s Robert Mann Gallery as of this Thursday, March 15th.

Head over to our Photo Booth blog for more selection of Vanhöfen’s work: http://nyr.kr/e87pBj
