Lo sguardo.

La cosa bella nel preparare un dittico è che si possono combinare due immagini simili per forma o per significato. Oppure due immagini molto diverse, per creare una tensione.
Questo invece è un dittico un po’ casuale. Nella mia ricerca della foto imperfetta avevo estratto dei piccoli dettagli da alcune mie foto e avevo provato a stamparli. Per razionalizzare al meglio l’uso della carta li ho stampati molto vicini, sullo stesso foglio. E ho visto fra le altre foto queste due affiancate. Ritagliate le ho lasciate qualche mese sulla mia scrivania. Decantare le emozioni. Ora ho deciso che si, è un dittico.
One nice thing when you prepare a diptych is that you can combine two similar images for what concerns the visual or the concept. Or two very different images in order to create a strong tension.
But this is a casual diptych. When researching for the imperfect photo I extracted a few details from my pictures and I tried to print them. In order to better rationalise the use of the paper I print them one very near to the other, on the same page. And among the others I saw these two, side by side. I cut and left them a few months on my desk. To settle the emotions. Now I decided yes, it’s a diptych.
Il caso non esiste… forse 🙂
Siamo sempre dominati da proposte casuali…forse 🙂

I really love both diptych and triptych – and the idea of making a composite photo casually or even randomly is fascinating. One can create whole new stories and connections. You diptych is very expressive.
yes, there are many opportunities when working with diptychs or triptychs (as with a series of pictures). Depending on the combinations different ideas can be proposed to the viewer. Something I would like to work on…

I really like the images.
in a sense, combining on ONE piece of paper creates that idea, as well.
never the less, it is powerful.
well done!
Thanks Jason, I’ll try to make something more following this idea. My creative process is always about trying, evaluating, improving, discarding, trying again…

Interessante 🙂
Ciao, Pat
A volte il caso aiuta…
