Description

Photograph by Amir Zaki, Concrete Vessel 55 (photograph, 60" x 75", 2019. "Empty Vessel" series The image illustrates a key late series in the "Built Landscape" body of work of Amir Zaki in the late 2010s, when he "hybridized" turned to California skateparks for imagery, which he paired with visually parallel pictures of broken ceramic objects in his "Empty Vessel" series. This image represents the skatepark works, for which he used a hyper-detailed, multi-image, compositing process that exaggerated spatial depth and temporality, rendering the sites otherworldly and contradictory. Reviews compared their sculptural monumentality to landscape sites such as Yosemite's Half Dome. The work of this series, and this work in particular, is discussed in the article and extensively in art journals and press publications and was widely exhibited.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a later body of work within the photographic practice of Amir Zaki: his late-2010s "Empty Vessel" series, which paired images of twelve empty California skateparks with visually parallel pictures of broken ceramic objects. This work comprised the monograph, California Concrete: A Landscape of Skateparks (2019), which included essays by Tony Hawk and Peter Zellner. Zaki used a hyper-detailed, multi-image, compositing technical process that exaggerated spatial depth and temporality of the parks. Reviews described the juxtaposed images—skateparks and broken ceramics—as comparable spaces of contemplation and potentiality. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize this major body of work and phase in his career. Zaki's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent art writers cited in the article, and was widely exhibited.

Replaceable?
