Фотопроект: «Centro Verso» - Мельбурн «вверх ногами»

Культура 24 дек 2019 в 0:00

Фотограф Том Блачфорд сфотографировал Мельбурн так, что его снимки выглядят будто из будущего киберпанка. Он признался, что был вдохновлен аниме и научно-фантастическими фильмами. Бесконечные небоскребы и неоновые огни действительно напоминают кадры из «Бегущего по лезвию» Ридли Скотта и «Призрака в доспехах». Сам автор снимков называет свои работы «мегаполисом киберпанка» или «невероятной антиутопией».

Для создания необычного эффекта он использовал длинную выдержку и вращение камеры. Том рассказал, что в его фотографиях есть также отсылки к оптическим иллюзиям голландского графика Маурица Корнелиса Эшера.

«Я поражен тем, как одно небольшое изменение может повлиять на восприятие мозгом глубины, перспективы и времени»

ITS HAPPENING. Very excited to finally announce my latest exhibition of work, both IN and OF my hometown of Melbourne at @backwoods.gallery opening in just over 2 weeks. The body of work, Centro Verso will feature 8 large scale prints of the city I have always called home but turned on its head and cast as a dystopian metropolis. I will also be showing my first foray into sculpture, 5 infinity luminaires hanging above the space filled with 3D printed original buildings, my own tangible dystopias that will be 1/1 editions.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Official opening event is November 22nd and the show will run through December 8th. ⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Please email info@backwoods.gallery to go on the waiting list to receive a pricelist of available works. ⁣ ⁣

My show at @backwoods.gallery runs all weekend 12-6. Has been an amazing response so far. A couple of things to clear up about the images though. 1. All images are single exposures not composites, there has been no blending of different views or cutting out of buildings, they are simply flipped. 2. All images are of MELBOURNE and not of other cities around the world. I’m super proud of how good they look with only the simplest treatment so make sure to get down and check them out if you are in town this weekend.
