Robert and Shana Parkeharrison: The Architect's Brother

By Robert ParkeHarrison

Book Overview

diCorcia's curation of "disparate photographs," from his early career to his first solo shows

"I want to make images that have open, narrative qualities, enough to suggest ideas about human limits. I want there to be a combination of the past juxtaposed with the modern. I use nature to symbolize the search, saving a tree, watering the earth. In this fabricated world, strange clouds of smog float by; there are holes in the sky. These mythic images mirror our world, where nature is domesticated, controlled and destroyed. Through my work I explore technology and a poetry of existence. These can be very heavy, overly didactic issues to convey in art, so I choose to portray them through a more theatrically absurd approach." --Robert ParkeHarrison (born 1968)
