Scarlett Hooft Graafland (b.1973, Netherlands) The images Scarlett Hooft Graafland creates look impossible – but not unreal. Her method has parallels with that of a documentary maker. Coloured balls floating over a frozen pond with swans. Fences in the Himalayas. A white horse with a girl’s black hair spread over it. Antlers in a frozen sea. Rubber dinghies on a salt pan. An orangeade igloo at the North Pole. A Robert Smithson spiral of white balloons. Illusion. The impossible made to exist. All photographed. Unedited. Real. The work of Scarlett Hooft Graafland is an ode to the imagination, the attainability of the unattainable, the unexpected power of reality. (src.
