“The large-scale photographs of new york based artist kim keever are meticulously created by photographing miniature topographies inside a large fish tank. The pictures appear to be based on traditional landscape paintings, but the process is any thing but traditional. Keever sculpts miniature landscapes inside the tank, which is then filled with water.

This project is part an ode to architecture and part a self-challenge to never stop looking up.
