Sandy Skoglund — A Breeze at Work
Sandy Skoglund

A Breeze at Work

A Breeze at Work is a vividly staged cibachrome photograph by Sandy Skoglund, mounted on aluminium, depicting a surreal office environment where dozens of identical sculptural fish appear to float and swirl through a mundane workplace setting. Skoglund's signature hyperrealistic tableau transforms the ordinary into the uncanny, with the repetition of the fish creating a sense of chaotic motion frozen in time. The rich, saturated colors characteristic of cibachrome printing intensify the dreamlike tension between the familiar and the fantastical.
