About this title

Synopsis:

Can there be more than one reality at a time, and can we experience them both? These were the questions that led photographer and former psychology professor Allan I. Teger to create this collection of black and white Bodyscapes (R). At first glance, Bodyscapes appear to be landscapes; a second look shows that they are in fact nude bodies with small toys and miniatures set on them. Spanning a 35-year period, this collection shows more than 110 black and white images photographed in a single exposure without any post processing or manipulation. The body becomes the setting for golfing, skiing, mountain climbing, surfing, and other sports. Other images feature landscapes ranging from rolling farmlands to beaches and outer space. They are fun, beautiful, and sensual, but always in good taste. This elegant portfolio of Teger's images is an ideal, reality-bending addition to any art photography library.

Synopsis:

Allan Teger's award winning Bodyscapes have been entertaining art lovers and collectors the world over for almost twenty years. Dr Teger created this series while he was a professor of psychology. They were used initially to illustrate the concept that two or more realities can exist simultaneously. His images have appeared in many newspapers and magazines and on television shows. Bodyscapes are not produced from double exposures, other camera or darkroom tricks, but are unique art forms created by photographing a variety of toys and scale models using the human body as a landscape. The results are sometimes subtle, sometimes humorous but always delightful.
