Poet's House
Jerry Uelsmann
1965
A photograph like this one, as well as many other photographs produced by Jerry Uelsmann, make me want to take photographs specifically for this purpose. This is another artist that shows a different technique of creating an image from the imagination. The images produced from this technique create a new world for the viewers to get lost in without the works of photoshop. I wonder if someone were to create specific negatives to coexist with other particular negatives, the same effect would be perceived. Photography is experimental and fallen upon. Other times it can be completely constructed. An image like this one shows the imagination of the landscape and what is could possibly be as opposed to what it really is. Creating new worlds for the viewer to place themselves into is a theme we still use today to bring to life our own imagination.
