DescriptionThis work, from the series "Natural Magic" (1992-94), uses photography as both medium and subject to explore the image's ability to communicate the real to the viewer. In fact, the image depicts the art of illusion, or magic tricks in progress, alluding to the art of photography as a form of magic or artifice, also suggesting that photography and painting are equally effective media for creating illusions.On View
