Project Astoria: Test 01 is a visually rich and enticing 11-image photo series from multi-media artist Todd Baxter.
Test 01 is the first taste of the world Baxter builds with much minutiae around people, objects, animals, and detailed landscapes; resulting in a mystifying portrait of the fictional Astoria System. The cinematic approach is based upon a dystopia-like tone, mixing contemporary architecture and retro-futuristic aesthetics with a great deal of success.
A coming-of-age context of discovery and leisure from the humans depicted is another important trait that sets Baxter’s work a step above from the run-of-the-mill editorial.
