Geoffrey Pugen is an accomplished visual artist. Working with video, film, and photography in the digital realm Pugen renders situations that examine the viewer's perceptions of how history, documentation, and simulation intersect. In his work, Pugen examines the complexities of interstitial and overlapping relationships between people and nature, imagining worlds where the real and the virtual, the actual and the staged, the natural and the artificial are compressed through technological saturation. Occupying spaces of trope and cliche, Pugen's work features images that are manipulated to create incongruous juxtapositions between their visual elements. His work also draws a certain conventional understanding of the photograph into question.
