Caseberes work consists of photographing homemade models and scenes of pepper foam and plaster. The spaces he creates and photographs are closely related to emotional human needs, wishes and fears. The monochrome gray gradations and the simplicity of the material give the pictures a certain purity. They depict our need for loneliness and contemplation.

Caseberes pictures can be seen as a product of fiction like the labyrinth stories of Julio Cortazar and Jorge Luis Borges or as the magical realism of Gabriel García Marquez.

The Cell with Rubble is part of a series about ghettos and prisons. In these works one can discover a link with the French philosopher Michel Foucault, who completed a masterful analysis of the underlying structures of Western civilization before his death in 1984. Foucault's thinking has a major impact on Caseber's work.

Within his stylistic territory Casebere consistently enters new topics and topics. Like Cindy Sherman, he discovered a new approach to photography. His photographs give us the opportunity to see truths about ourselves,  truths that are hidden in our collective memory, and are inaccessible for the millions of cameras which only aim at the outer world.
