BILL FINGER | GROUND CONTROL

If you had the chance to go on a one-way trip to Mars, would you go? This is the question which inspired American artist Bill Finger's latest series of photographs. Titled "Ground Control," Bill imagined how a prospective astronaut would prepare for a mission to the red planet from which there would be no return.

Bill Finger's enigmatic images of space ships, domestic interiors, and alien worlds were created by photographing miniature sets. In the tenuous space between truth and fiction, the artist creates ephemeral worlds which fuse the aesthetics of photography and cinematography.

Bill Finger received his MFA in Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2005. His work has been exhibited across the United States and is included in the permanent collection of the George Eastman House Museum of Photography. Bill's images have been published in the books Light & Lens and Exploring Color as well as the European magazine Fotograf.
