Multiverse
DESCRIPTION
The "Multiverse" series of photos takes us on a journey through time and space, revealing the remarkable intergenerational differences that have arisen as a result of rapid technological development.For the purpose of these photos, I prepared the scenery and provided each character with his separate zone in which he functions on a daily basis. Each actor symbolizes a different generation of people. The woman, with curly hair, symbolizes the oldest generation that grew up without the virtual world. There is also an athlete in the photos, symbolizing the generation that has experienced both the analog and digital worlds. In addition to this figure, we also find a red-haired girl symbolizing the youngest generation that was born in the era of the digital revolution. Also, appearing in the frames is a mysterious silver figure symbolizing technology, which is more or less present in every generation.
Although we are all currently living at the same time, it feels as if we are operating in completely different dimensions. The above series of photos therefore encourages us to reflect on the impact of technology on our lives and encourages us to seek a point of balance between the real and virtual worlds.
Camera: Mamiya RB67 Pro-S
