Impossible landscapes made photographically convincing are the hallmark of Erik Johansson’s image-led books and exhibitions. Books and exhibition publications under his name collect works in which roads fold into cloth, landscapes break apart, rooms open onto impossible spaces or ordinary objects behave according to dream logic. Johansson combines photography with extensive digital compositing, but the finished image is designed to look coherent enough that the impossibility reveals itself gradually. His publications are therefore image-led, often including sketches or process material rather than sustained prose. The most useful shelf associations are contemporary photography, digital art, surrealism and visual illusion, especially for readers interested in how planning, perspective and post-production are used to create believable impossible worlds.
