Aiken’s vanishing point emulates film quality aesthetics and captures a single moment in time. The photograph depicts an airplane missing its ‘nose’ set against a bright blue-hued background, thrusting viewers into a vortex of fantastical occurrences and augmented reality. The artist challenges our tendency to view visual culture in familiar context. Instead he juxtaposes proverbial subject matter within an intimate non-linear framework adding a sense of displacement and abstraction to his work. He experiments with different trajectories to create ethereal landscapes in human environments— stunning and temporal in nature. In this tradition, vanishing point dislocates viewers from the restless everyday minutiae into a lucid dream state. Both disturbing and charming, this contrast serves to create a melancholic mood where dark and light collide and then slowly, fuse together.
