Photographer and Wallpaper* contributor Dan Tobin Smith and designer Rachel Thomas have conjured an elaborate landscape for their first joint exhibition, 'Imaginary View' at London's Somerset House

墙纸*欠丹·托宾·史密斯一大笔债。这位摄影师是一位长期的墙纸撰稿人，十多年来，他把大胆的内饰、精细的结构和高超的眼光带到了我们的书页上，帮助塑造了我们的美感。

在伦敦萨默塞特宫(Somerset House)举办的一场新节目“想象视图”(ImageView)再次让托宾和瑞秋·托马斯(Rachel Thomas)结对，后者经常与摄影师合作，在新的节目中，这对夫妇创造并拍摄了一幅精心设计的人工景观，由聚苯乙烯切割而成，配以意想不到的材料，比如一大群牛奶。这听起来很牵强，但是严格类似的方法-雕刻的块和黑白的5x4电影-有着真正的威严和不朽，也许是被遗忘的文明的废墟，或者是局外人建筑师的不正常的几何实验。

该剧将真实的结构与托宾的形象并列起来，将镜头所创造的精确的想象世界与它们未粉饰的现实并列起来，这是对古往今来的梦幻建筑的一种认可。

巧妙地运用烟雾和光线有助于扭曲场景的比例和比例，就好像托宾和托马斯打开了通往一个隐藏世界的大门，然后用英勇的电影尺度记录了这一切。另一种被保存在限量版目录中的是一盒照相凹版印刷品，这是一种精心制作的方法，突出了这些奇怪的新世界的灯光和黑暗。

The pair have crafted gargantuan stage sets from polystyrene that harken back to the golden era of 1930s Hollywood and ancient Rome

The meticulously composed mise en scènes were shot on large format black and white film, revealing a rich depth in tonality and detail upon close inspection

The exhibition places the real structures alongside Tobin's imagery, juxtaposing the precisely framed imaginary worlds created by the lens with their unvarnished reality, a nod to fantastical architecture over the ages

Tobin Smith said of their laborious production process, ‘Light, exposure, perspective – all the elements come together in the studio. It is pretty intense. It’s an event’
