Photographer David DiMichele's latest series Pseudo Documentation depicts imaginary art installations that playfully examine scale and perception, blur the lines between truth and fiction and question the act of looking at art. The LA based photographer situates his subjects in dramatic surroundings - encircled by towers of melting ice, daunting slashes of bark and shards of glass. What is visually surprising is that the locations are not cavernous warehouses or grand halls but infact detailed dioramas that DiMichele constructs.
