“SKYline” shows a view of the sky, crossed by a diagonal line, obviously a skyline. At the same time, the term ‘skyline’ is used worldwide to describe a panorama that shows a city with its tallest buildings against the horizon. Even if there are no really straight lines in nature, but rather curvatures and bends, we assume to see straight lines, or imagine them. And even if they do not exist, they can at least be “artificially” installed. Art gives us the possibility of adding impossibilities to realities—for whatever purpose. In this case, to achieve a linguistic ambiguity.

The photograph is of the sky over Callantsoog, North Holland, and the work is therefore part of the ‘Playing around with Callantsoog skies’ series. The SKY series explores the theme of “SKY” on three levels: visual, written, and sound.
