Blind spot: what no photographer sees
Categories: Photo project | Travel
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/blind-spot-what-no-photographer-sees.htmlThe unidirectionality of photography has always been its advantage and at the same time its Achilles heel. You look through the viewfinder and mentally ask yourself, "What do I see?" And now think: what don't you see? But for everyone except you, this philosophical question is absolutely meaningless — they perfectly see everything that is inaccessible to you as a photographer at this moment.
Slovak photographers Zuzu Galova and Peter Sedlaczyk tried to find the most colorful and concrete solution to this problem.
Creative couple Peter and Zuzu quit their jobs three years ago to travel the world. During this time, their series of travel photos Lens Between Us completely destroyed the stereotype of a one-sided perspective of photography.
For every picture of Zuzu taken by Peter, there is his "mutual brother" — a picture of Peter taken by his companion. The final images are always published in the form of bright diptychs.
"This idea was born during our trip to Portugal,— recalls Galova. "We both had cameras, and at some point we just took pictures of each other with cameras in our hands." This happened several times, and soon Zuzu and Peter began to make diptychs always.
Sedlaczyk adds: "It's always organic and natural. We never pose on purpose."
