Liron Kroll's Augmented Reality Photographs

The London-based Israeli artist Liron Kroll produces a photomontage that creates a sort of "augmented reality", a computer field that deals with combining virtual elements with actual surroundings in real time and interactively, figures that are found in awaiting situations. We look for example at a figure awaiting the arrival of someone on the veranda, and in another image a figure waiting impatiently for a meeting away from home in an American suburb. The atmosphere in the photograph is gothic and dramatic, but it is clear that the drama itself is delayed, and that the images are frozen in a sort of a time capsule.

Liron Kroll's photographs are on view at Feinberg Projects gallery, Tel Aviv, as part of the group show "Waiting List". July 24rd–Aug. 23rd, 2014.
