The Typical Inhabitant of Schloss-Nauses 1992/2000 Composite Photography 1/5 1992/2000 |
111 prints and 2 composites
I N 1992 Gerhard Lang photographed all residents(58) of his home village Schloss-Nauses before superimposing them over each other by means of a particular photographic technique - composite photography. The outcome was The Typical Inhabitant of Schloss-Nauses 1992. Eight years later, Lang repeated the process. The composite from the year 2000 shows how much the typical inhabitant of Schloss-Nauses 1992 had changed with eight years.

What your looking at is a photo but the resemblance to a drawing/sketch is very apparent. Again i do feel that this i a technique which i wish to experiment with but via digital manipulation.
