In photography, on canvases and in sculptural works, Bustamante
defines displaced landscapes and works with a quirky sense of space.
These spatial manipulations have the power to wrong foot the viewer, as
if looking at familiar scenes and seeing them for the first time. A
comprehensive retrospective of his work from the early 70s to the
present neatly coinciding with his appointment as representative of
France at the 50th Venice Biennial in 2003.
