Photographs by Andrew Wagner

I
see these photographs as connected not through some sort of shared subject matter, but rather through a shared way of seeing, an attitude towards viewing the world. These images begin with me simply walking around, taking photographs of things that interest me. Afterwards, I alter the images through digital manipulating sometimes erasing elements from the photographs, other
times combining various photographs together to create entirely new spaces. Rather than understand photography as the realm of the factual, the evidentiary, the definitive statement about how the world is, I instead embrace photography as a means through which the imagined takes form, and alternative possibilities for viewing and understanding the world are created
