SPEOS (MAGNUM 2019-2020)
This untitled collection is an ever-growing photographic journal that plays on the perceptions of reality and fantasy. In this vivid and poetic series of images, Jon pieces together visual mementos of daily encounters from his time abroad between Paris and Prague. Flirting with different languages of art, Jon utilizes photography as an artistic tool to fabricate an eerie non-narrative atmosphere, inviting the viewer's curiosity and imagination to interpret and relish these otherworldly scenes. The dreamscape quality of his work aims to create an ambiance of a film noir backdrop charged with color.
