L’INCONNU Noah Vermeer

A landscape is only layers, and a little shadow between them.

Polder, seven layers, 1993. Cut and torn paper.
LX-NV-001 · Polder, seven layers · 1993

Noah Vermeer tears and cuts paper into horizons and stacks them a few millimetres apart. The shadow between the sheets does the work that paint would do.

For the House he made a series of flat landscapes, polder, dune and river, each from paper he dyed himself. Seen from the side they are almost nothing; from the front they go on for miles.

Hand-dyed paper, spacers of cork, no glue on the face.
