About The Artwork
Marcus Viljoen is a conceptual photographer who utilizes various photo-based and mixed media processes to create limited edition prints which explore the rich terrain of social memory and perception through landscape. With admirable precision and flair, Viljoen depicts the five geographic regions of Nambia: the Central Plateau; the Namib Desert; the Escarpment; the Bushveld; and the Kalahari Desert. Produced through a complex layering process, each finished work is a composite of upwards of two hundred layered images that as a whole offer realistic landscapes mediated by illusion and distortion. Subliminal nostalgia, notions of the temporal, states of being and the abstract language of photographic metaphor push the work into exciting conceptual territory. Viljoen’s most recent development involves the use of cutting, altering and weaving collected photographs and imbues the work with the dignity and sincerity of the artist’s hand.
