Meyer’s current artistic conviction lies in large format documentary nature photography. Meyer’s political and conceptual groundings, centred upon the destruction of primary forests in Africa make his work radical enough to fit the contemporary art mould. However, Meyer’s use of large format photography also separates him from contemporary art practices, which tends to embrace digital or smaller film formats.

The high level of detail in Meyer’s work characterizes his ability to frame elements from nature that are not easily perceived by human vision. As opposed to normal vision, where reality is filtered by our senses in order to economize on sensory information, Meyer’s photographs capture every detail in resolutions far higher than the capacity of the human eye, causing a controlled sensory overload of information.

From this perspective Meyer faithfully extracts as much experiential information as he can from nature, poeticizing this information in the form of photographic texts that cross borders, both geographically, stylistically and interdisciplinary.
