Chaos and dynamics of sports competitions in Pelle Kassa collages
American photographer Pelle Cass has created a series of collages "Crowded Fields", in which he combines shots from the same competition into one image. So the Ticket Office creates the effect of a chaotic crowd, which can be felt by the audience watching the athletes from the stands.
"I avoid the plot of a particular game or sporting event. I change the sequence of events so that the images become absurd from the point of view of sports. I also like that the relationship between the audience and the event is reversed: the crowd enters the field, and the stands are almost empty," explains the photographer.
Although Cass edits images in Photoshop, he follows the rules that he set for himself from the very beginning.
In fact, the photographer allows himself to repeat the figures of people, although initially he thought it was "too tricky".
