A Memory Revisited III

Description

I chose Li Wei's work to produce a triptych because I liked the idea of putting yourself in a strange position. Wei claims that he does not use photoshop to create his images. He uses mirrors, hanging wires, acrobatics, and sometimes, pure danger to create the illusion of a missing head or body. Although I do not have those particular talents, I enjoyed the idea of using photoshop to place myself in old photographs. As anyone does, we often become nostalgic when we review old memories. We get a feeling of nostalgia when we look at old pictures, even if the memories aren't good now. The us of today want to remember that particular moment or we do remember the memories that do follow even if we don't want to. I chose these particular images because the girls in the photos are people who have been a huge part and influence of my adolescent years, good and bad. I want to treat these new photoshopped images as though they were the originals therefore I printed them in the 4x6 format. I even wrote on the back of the images as I did when they were in their original format. The top photograph is the original and the bottom is the new photo.
