Genius! Photographer Chino Otsuka has discovered the art of time travel. Instead of exploiting a whole in the space-time continuum to time travel, she simply digitally spliced her adult self into old photographs from her childhood. That way it looked like adult version of Otsuka was meeting child version of Otsuka. So clever!
Otsuka explains the thought process behind her excellent photo series “Imagine Finding Me”:
“The digital process becomes a tool, almost like a time machine, as Im embarking on the journey to where I once belonged and at the same time becoming a tourist in my own history.”
Sometimes she mimics what she did as a kid, other times shes simply crossing paths with her childhood self and theres even a few pictures where it looks like shes taking care of her childhood self. Its clever photo manipulation but a few of these shots really make it look like she was there the entire time.
简直是天才!日本摄影师大冢千野发现了穿越的艺术。不过她不是在时空连续体中经历完整的时间旅行,而是用数字技术把自己成年的图像叠加到儿时的照片中,这样就看起来像成年版大冢和童年版大冢相遇一样,真是智慧之作啊!
她这样解释自己这组名叫“假如找到我自己”的系列照片背后的思考过程:
“数字处理是个很好的工具,就像一个时光机。在这样一个时光机里,我踏上旅途回到我原本属于的地方,同时也成为我自己历史的拜访者。”
有时候她会模仿小时候的动作,有时候她只是简单地出现在儿时自己的旁边,甚至有几张照片就好像她在照顾童年的自己。这真是一种巧妙的摄影处理手法,其中的几张照片就好像她一直都在那儿一样。
