PANORAMA DISTORTION

In this project I'm exploring the idea of identity through distortion and deformation of my own image. Here I'm capturing the fleeting moment of movement using panorama camera mode in IPhone. Distortion, destruction, deformation as opposed to integrity and perfection - aspects that attract social media audience in selfies. Thus, this photo series may be taken as an act of protest towards standards and expectations. Even though the pictures may look ridiculous they are also filled with creepiness and decadence.

COLLABORATION, 19.09.2019

During the class we were collaborating on this idea with Zoe Springer. We were making panorama selfies and photographing each other. Apart from that Zoe and I were capturing each other in the process of taking picture. Both of us noticed that the process of making panoramic photographs was a great fun. We could experiment by making some crazy pictures without limiting ourselves. Finally, there was a huge amount of material which can even be used in future projects.
