When phrases can’t fairly sum up a sense, Ben Zank (beforehand) leans right into a weird visible language. The New York-based photographer creates unusual conditions during which topics discover themselves subsumed by topiaries and shrubs or buttoned up with structural helps.
Captured in non-discernable places, Zank’s photos flip the banal into the surreal, whereas his witty titles—”Failed Columnist” and “Cloudy with a Chance of Despair”—amplify his penchant for humor.
Earlier this yr, Zank revealed a monograph titled Nothing to See Right here, which is obtainable from Aliens in Residence. You could find extra of his work on Instagram.
