Serge Mendzhlyskogo
Serge Mendzhlyskogo is a photographer who creates complex images of several photographs merged together in strips. His images are generally based on city images making is overall theme experimental cityscape. His presentation of his images give them a very abstract look and feel.
This is one of Mendzhlyskogo images. It is a black and while image that consists of two separate images within it. One image appears to be of a busy city while the other image is of a train on a railway. The city image is very busy and packed. It also looks quite modern as you can see lots of cars and tall buildings. This is a complete contrast to the image of the trains. The trains themselves look fairly modern and new however the background looks very old and run down. In the background the buildings look old and somewhat run down.
The image is in black and white and has a high contrast. Having the contrast high allows you to see the image detail a lot more clearly therefore helping you distinguish between the two images. If the image was more greyish then it would be difficult to see the lines separating each little part. The lots of strips in the image makes the photo look like it’s made up of lots lines.
Serge Mendzhlyskogo takes his photography’s digitally. He would go to different places and get the images he needs and the edit them digitally. It would also be possible for him to create his images by hand by cutting up the photo however he wouldn’t get the same clean effect he has now.
I really like his photographs because it allows you to see two parts of a city at once especially in this image where you can see both the very busy side and a quieter run down side. In some of his images it is very clear that has use more than one photograph but in others is almost just looks like one distorted image.
