Abstract

Linet Sanchez creates miniature buildings and rooms she then documents through photography. These fictitious spaces are photographed to appear realistic and monumental in scale. Before knowing this, though, viewers can project their memories and lived experiences onto these constructed environments, influenced by Sanchez’s use of materials, lighting, and perspective. However, the illusion is not perfect, and the longer one engages with the art, hints emerge about its artifice. The way viewers interact with these photos emulates how information and memories can be misconstrued and re-presented as real.
