An interview by Josh Ryder, curator

Mexican visual artist Stanley
Shoemaker's work explores the
aesthetics of landscape going beyond
evokative reminders to draw the
viewers into a multilayered experience.
In is recent works that we'll be
discussing in the following pages, he
urges the viewers to extract a
narrative from the image he captured,
to challenge their perceptual
paameters. His approach encapsulates
both traditional heritage and
unconventional sensitiveness and
allows him to produce pieces marked
out with a strong reference to
contemporariness. One of the most
impressive aspects of Showmaker's
work is the way it allows the viewers to
discover that photography is not about
reality, its about making your own
reality by manipulating every image:
we are very pleased to introduce our
readers to his stimulating and
multifaceted artistic production.
