Description
"The surrealistic transformation of a footbridge into an eye opening onto a path leading to a radiating flower that becomes a body that becomes a landscape produces the effect, in Vanderbeek's words, of an 'animation experience in which the viewer's eye sinks ever deeper into each scene, finding new relationships and visual metaphors in what at first glance appears a simple scene... Juxtaposed to what we see is what we believe we see... The memory of the dream is as real as the dream itself, while being completely different from it."
—Janet Vrchota
"It is part of the interesting nature of art that at this very moment at the crossroads of art, with the perfection of a means to capture perspective and 'realism' exactly, the artist's gaze turns more toward the interior, and in some way toward an infinite exterior, abandoning the logic of aesthetics and bursting at full throttle into a juxtaposed and simultaneous world that ignores the spirit of single perspective and the single-perspective lens."
—Stan Vanderbeek
