Opis: Crazy Photography - Chantal Alles

In art as in life, things aren't always what they appear to be. With the invention of photography almost two centuries ago, the subjective eye of the artist had a new rival, and one that ostensibly depicted the world as it actually was. Today we know better, particularly now, in the age of digital imaging when photographs can be adulterated so easily. 'Crazy Photography' presents the work of more than fifty contemporary photographers from all over the world demonstrating how the way we capture and look at images has been revolutionised in recent years. In four chapters, well-known photographers such as Liu Bolin, Ian Crawford and Pep Ventosa alongside young practitioners like Ari Mahardika and Jan Oliehoek take us on a stunning tour through a visual gallery that reflects our dreams and fears and gives us new, original insights into our consciousness as well as our environment. By skilfully manipulating and playing with images, the artists challenge our perceptions and beliefs, inducing in us an altered view of what seems to be familiar or ordinary. "Crazy Photography is just that - CRAZY! In the new digital world, anything is possible and 40 photo artists from around the world have transformed images of reality into images that can test not only how we view our world, but maybe our perceptions and opinions about it. The images created by these artists may look familiar, but their manipulated states of realism pull you in to take a much closer look." Apogee Photo Magazine, February 2012. Silvershotz Photography Magazine 'The range of artists represents cultures from China to Japan, Europe to Russia and Brazil to the USA. Their images are as diverse as their backgrounds. On many levels this book will intrigue, fascinate and inspire'
