Pareidolia Synopsis

The latest works by the renowned Mexican photographer

Adrian Burns is a Mexican photographer who trained at the prestigious Putney School and Parsons School of Design, where he studied art history and photography. Trilingual, he is constantly on the move between Mexico, the United States and France. Adrian Burns' singular perspective on the world and his in-depth knowledge of the photographic medium have allowed him, after many years of intense activity, to bring together several series of fascinating images marked by an uncommon visual and poetic force. This monograph follows a first publication by Skira in 2021 and presents his latest works, which are the fruit of a reflective and introspective approach. More than simple snapshots of reality, these photographs of natural phenomena - clouds, snow, waves, etc. - are reworked by the artist, who adds geometric shapes using graphite or acrylic varnish. The result leans towards abstraction, delivering visions that are more akin to dreams than reality.
