PE Abstract and Surreal: *KizukiTamuraInterview with *KizukiTamura
:iconkizukitamura:
How would you explain the concept of abstraction/surrealism to someone who has never heard of it before?
Surrealism refers to certain definite codes rooted in psychoanalysis, philosophy etc. and favours associative, non-logical processes like in dreams or automatic writing. Whereas abstraction is rather a personal vision of reality at a given time. In photography, abstraction often leads to a poetic approach, but also gives the opportunity of experimenting.

What inspires you to use the concept of abstraction/surrealism for your artwork?

As a matter of fact, I work rather with abstraction than with surrealism. In my eyes, surrealism is nowadays a bit outdated, but I am still very fond of Breton, Magritte and others, who transformed the artistic standards of their time.
In my work I do not aim at abstraction for abstractio Kaleidoscope - The toy for the imaginationKaleidoscope, the avant-garde creation can’t pass by us unnoticed. It’s not about a formal trick of stitching some pictures together, nor a cheap and cheerful toy from our childhood.
It’s more of a stimulating way of combining thinking with imagination, a pictorial and introspective interpretation of photography.
What it really is and why it exists, the two contrivers: Cyril (BE) and Dave (UK) tell us themselves.

It is a different way of looking at pictures. It’s like a prism that can offer a different image. Finally kaleidoscope propose another narrative story, another reading. This also tells about my childhood.
