LIBRARIES
INSPIRATION IN PAST AND PRESENTThis series was strongly inspired by the artist’s memories and evaluation of his own upbringing. It shows his sense of nostalgia for the inspirational qualities of historic libraries.
Libraries are amongst the world’s most important buildings as they preserve mankind’s cumulative knowledge and heritage for future generations. These architectural masterpieces are invaluable repositories of historically and culturally significant collections, many of which are not available anywhere else in the world.
Basner’s emotionally inspired architectural portraits depict the inspirational values of institutions built to discover, learn, gather and explore, subliminally pointing to the stark contrast of behavior patterns in the digital information age.

JOURNEYS
GATEWAYS TO SELF-DISCOVERYThe photographs in this exhibition played a significant role in the artist’s ongoing process of self-discovery.
Personal journeys are distinctively private experiences of great symbolic strength, offering unique qualities for each individual embarking on the journey and contributing to a greater self-awareness.
