8. How do you see the world?
Look around you - do you see the scene in front of you as a whole
scene, a neat little square with every thing visible at once - just like a
photograph or painting?
Or do you see a variety of elements and fragments?
11. Hockney would have had to bend down to
photograph the floor, climb up ladders to
photograph the street signs and walk down
the highway to photograph the horizon. All
this took him 8 days so he did not only
warped space and distance but also showed
the passing of time in one image. The image
also showed the scene from multiple
viewpoints - just like way we see the world.
14. TASK:
Create a joiner
Technique 1:
Photograph the whole scene from three angles.
In Photoshop we will cut sections from these three images
and layer them.
Technique 2:
Photograph different sections of he image separately and
piece together in Photoshop like a jigsaw.
Hinweis der Redaktion
This is probably a closer description of how we see the world - from multiple viewpoints that are then pieced together by our mind. In this joiner by David Hockney he has tried to create this effect out of 24 Polaroid prints. He did this because he was interested in how we see and depict space and time. His is interested in how we turn a 3 dimensional world into a 2 dimensional image, how perspective is used in western art and how space is treated differently in non-western art. He did not particularly make joiners because he liked the novel effect of using photographs in this way. However, he did like the way this technique allowed the viewer to read space. He sometimes laid the images out in a neat grid. - See more at: http://thedelightsofseeing.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/cubism-joiners-and-multiple-viewpoint.html#sthash.NvXipbUO.dpuf
