Eyes Double Vision
To evoke and share the original intention of photography.
Photography let us record every minute every second that we went through, help us see the details in life. But nowadays, city people seem to take things for granted, look at everything purely as information and only care about its’ functionality. Finally, all the precious details in life are being overseen and forgotten.
“I want to show other people what they do not see.” The final script delivered by the main actor inside the movie Yi Yi by Director Edward Yang. This evoked the original intention of photography.
On the photography journey, photographers are not only looking for the scenes they want to capture, but rather, they are trying to wait for a status in the mind, wait for an emotional thrust, to finally reflect their scenes from within. From the mixture of different dimensions with different incidents, what photographers captured may not be what they see and expect. The feeling is kind of like the days of film photography.
The new project by Photo Now is about using film as letter paper, using camera as pen, to write down our emotion on the letter, send it to another photographer and let the counterpart reply, to ultimately share each other’s original intention of photography.
The project will invite our allied photographers from around Asia. Each will take one roll of film and then send to another photographer from another city for double exposure. With the unique nature of film, uncertain yet full of possibilities, we are expecting the unexpected. The only thing we can be sure is the images will be more than an intercourse of the scene of two cities, but the scenes from within of the two photographers, the double vision of their eyes.
