Photographer Hugh Kretschmer takes us on a surreal journey with his vast portfolio of conceptual work.
He playfully visualizes scenes and provides literal interpretations, with a little photo manipulation, of ideas like an “enveloping sea” which features a sea of actual envelopes. Kretchmer’s work is teeming with puns that take you out of your comfort zone and and awaken the mind. Without knowing the title of each witty image, a sort of game is created where the spectator tries to pinpoint what idiom or idea Kretschmer is creatively translating.
