“Still Life # 2 (Jean Pierre Raynaud)” 2018, is the 2nd Still Life by Dean West.
In the exhibited photographs, West reconstructs personal experiences and encounters in an ongoing investigation of his surrounding environment. Through the sampling and deconstruction of these moments, the surreal images look at how memory “is not a video recorder [but that] it’s a constructive activity that is in many ways accurate but prone to interesting errors and distortions”. Tie this in with photography’s ability to both record and deceive, West’s allegorical simulations force the viewer to consider the relationship between narrative meaning and their own subjectivities. The merging of a variety of memories in this photograph are visible upon closer inspection. Plants are fabricated with a variety of species, exotic birds from West's childhood along with New York City's subway tiles are present in Still Life # 2 (Jean Pierre Raynaud) 2018
