Lois Renner

1993, Gerust, c-print, 150 x 120cm

Lois Renner is another West Collection artist who is a model-maker photographing his models. Like Didier Massard and Kim Keever, Renner creates a trickey space designed to play with the viewer’s perceptions. Unlike Massard and Keever, who are very interested in creating super-romanticized worlds, Renner delights in creating familiar realistic messy environments . Renner drops rather large, but somehow hidden, clues to the scale of the models confusing many viewers. Is that a real lighter, or an oversized toy?
