Remixing Perspective

Producing a sequence of multiple remixed images can be tricky. While doing so, it’s important to pick a theme that can be utilized throughout your work. This aspect held in common by all three remixes will allow you to advertently show progression of an idea, concept, story, etc. I’m not yet entirely sure of what I’d like to show the progression of, but I do know I’d like to play around with the idea of perspective, which plays an important part in every art piece. The art piece pictured below, for instance, plays with the perspective of setting. The artist (Pete Harrison) combines numerous objects and entities you wouldn’t often find in one place. The result is a visually complex yet realistic-looking art piece, combining the aspects of photo manipulation as well as graphic illustration.

A piece by Erik Johansson (pictured below) is an interesting play on perspective as well. Like all his artwork, this image looks strikingly realistic. Everything above the water looks normal, but Johansson’s unique perspective on what lies below make his art that much more interesting. With my remixed images, I hope to do just that; express my unique perspective on things through the form of realistic media.
