Now and Next Minute Reversal Photographs at Grona Lund #5 & #6

Digitally enlarged printed photo collage on masonite

Location: Theatre Lobby

These digitally enlarged photos are part of an ongoing series I call Now and Next Minute Reversal Photographs. Each one is a collage composed of two photographs of the same landscape - one taken moments after the other and turned upside down in relation to it as an almost but not quite mirror image. The collage is then re photographed or digitally enlarged so that the horizon blurs top into bottom. Each depicted world is supported by or precariously perched upon an upside down version of itself. I guess I'm interested in the seam where the two worlds - meet or not.
