Casebere works with constructed photography. He is somewhat similar to Demand and Crewdson, and so it is no wonder that i have come across his work. He creates small models often on tables and then photographs these. He has been known to create scenes of suburban America but has recently turned to creating sculptures/ photographs of more institutionalised places, such as prisons. These are very cold and uninviting pieces to muse over. His worlds are also absent of people, which aids and encourages you to make up your own story to go along with his work. Other artists who are associated to this 1980s emerging artist are: Barbra Kruger, Robert Longo, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman and Laurie Simmons.
He works with simple materials, and in the prison pieces he seems to be working with clay? Because i haven't really looked into making interiors, i would never have thought of using clay - this could definitely be a material to look to using.
All of his photos have some uncanny feeling to them and at the moment, whilst thinking of dissertation ideas, most of the artists that i look at create uncanny work. This could be something very probable to look into. Something else interesting about Casebere's work is that all of his final pieces are photographs. This was what i was originally going to do. However, i was suggested to me that perhaps with photographs you don't get enough feeling or oumf (is this a word?) brought with it. After this i started turning to film. And now, reflecting on his work, i believe that to be true. it would be interesting to see his put to film, even if it was virtually still, just to see if it would give more - which i believe it would.
