Hist. crit. notes:In his “Skafbylur” series, photographer and sound artist Benjamin Tomasi shows Icelandic landscapes: he uses an old bellows camera with holes drilled in the bellows to generate controlled light influences. Each photo composition consists of at least two different locations: the seemingly fleeting views of the natural world are precisely composed and for the artist represent an intermediate form of artificial, ideal and documented, “real” landscape. The term “Skafbylur” refers to the snow that blows just above ground. (Günther Oberhollenzer, in “Arbeiten. Lavori in corso II [Works in progress II]”, Bozen 2020, p. 236)
With his origins in photography and experimental music, Benjamin Tomasi’s main interest lies in the research and production of reciprocal audiovisual processes of perception together with their spatial implications. His experimental practice often results in nonreproducible moments in various media. [...] (Christina Nägele, in “Panorama 4, Neue Kunst in Südtirol.
