The intimacy of the surreal with photographer Kirk Lisaj.
Creation is an act of intimacy. For Kirk, each image begins in the solitude of his imagination, and blossoms into a creation for the world to see. A practice best described as transforming intrinsic visions into tangible visual poems.
Focusing on the absurdity and romanticism of the human experience, Kirk leans into everything from the absolutely mundane to the most tender of moments before chopping and screwing the reality into a creation of his own. The resulting images have captured the attention of major publications, brands and garnered a CAFA 2022 NewGen Prize.
