John Pfahl

To create this image, John Pfahl placed two perfectly camouflaged Red Setters in a field of red dirt. Pfahl has also constructed green crosses from stakes and
string, adjusting for perspective so that they appear identical in size and superimposed on the picture plane. The crosses recall the reticular lines that appear in NASA’s pictures of the moon’s surface. Pfahl uses the landscape as a site for constructing humorous and illusionistic tricks, photographically transporting the dogs to the moon.
