About The Artwork

20 x 37 inches, 2008 As a child I loved guns. I invented storylines and recited narratives from TV and films. I constructed detailed wars with imaginary foes lurking around the corners. The world was a playground for warfare. Weapons could always be found with any available object or body part. Fantastical characters could be fought through a narrative borne of the imagination. These narratives were remixes of the mood and culture surrounding me. In Imaginary Wars, the images are constructed stories that work to blend a documentary Neorealist quality with the scripted actions of the cinematographic. This blending creates a photographic truth that is both a memory and a performance for the camera. The actors and the landscapes share a resemblance to the characters and landscapes of my early childhood in New York City. In these images, my memories are ensconced into an apocalyptic world where trash infests the streets, weeds choke vacant lots, and resources are scarce. The future is unknown.

In 2006, a photograph from Erskine's series, Ten Convenient Stores, was included in a exhibition at the Miami Art Museum curated by Andy Goldsworthy entitled, Modern Photographs: The Machine, the Body and the City Selections from the Charles Cowles Collection. The show was comprised of artwork that had been donated to the museum's permanent collection. From 2005-2007 Harlan worked as an in-house photographer at Crispin Porter + Bogusky. While there he photographed for companies including Ad Council, Coke, Geek Squad, Miller, MINI Cooper, Pearl Izumi, Truth and Volkswagen. Erskine has also shot editorial for XLR8R, THEME Magazine, The Blow Up, Tate Magazine (UK), The Source, The L Magazine, Harvard Business Review and Brooklyn Magazine. In the spring of 2008, Erskine exhibited his first solo show entitled, Black Sun Project at the Bas Fisher Invitational in Miami, FL. Erskine received his MFA from the School of Visual Arts (NY) in 2009. In the thesis show he exhibited five images from the project entitled, Imaginary Wars. This series was awarded 3rd place in the Linhof Young Photographers Award international photographic competition. A selection of this work was later featured in a juried group show at the Photographic Resource Center. Erskine currently lives in Brooklyn where he shoots editorial, commercial and his own projects. harlanerskine.com/ harlanerskine.com/blog/
