between the temporality of the landscape and the camera. For this exhibition, Kiri aims to consider time
and space as physical objects that exist within the photograph which are recognised through the display
and viewership of the image.
The sky is only as far as you can see was produced in rural northeastern Montana; a location of extreme
isolation. This location was chosen for its unique lack of structures and landmarks. In it’s desolation, the
self becomes disoriented in the vastness of space. Vistas of prairies and badlands seem endless and the
direct visual presence of deep time in the landscape exacerbates the disorientation. In order to capture
this feeling, Kiri’s work forces viewers to physically interact with the displayed images and places the
body into the scale of the images and video installations
Throughout, the role of looking and experiencing the image is integral and
the work considershow we frame our perception of space in the landscape as a tool for display. Printed
work forces viewers to move in and out to see details, to sweep their vision from floor to ceiling, and to
look beyond what is ahead to see new elements appear.
