The Carved Photographs Of Michel Lamoller Reveal What Lies Beneath - Beautiful/Decay Artist & Design

The Carved Photographs Of Michel Lamoller Reveal What Lies Beneath - Beautiful/Decay Artist & Design: In his series “tautochronos”, German artist Michel Lamoller takes multiple photographs of the same place at different times, then prints and layers them, physically carving them into one image, sculpting two-dimensional space into three-dimensions. By then photographing the transformed image Lamoller returns the work to two-dimensions, playing with space and volume, echoing the compression of time and place in his work. The deconstructed figures in the resulting photographs are a visual reminder that people are always changing and never fully revealed.
