About the Artist
Jan Dibbets is a highly influential Dutch conceptual artist, central to the development of conceptual photography. His rigorous practice systematically explores the relationship between photography, perception, and the natural world, often through the use of grids, series, and controlled alterations to images. Dibbets is known for his "Perspective Corrections" and "Dutch Mountain" series, which manipulate photographic perspective to create illusions or question objective reality. His work fundamentally challenges the camera's assumed neutrality, inviting viewers to critically examine how images are constructed and how our perception is shaped by both visual information and cognitive processes.
