IN-DEPTH ANALYSISANALYSE Merve Özaslan’s work reminded me a lot of 3D street art work as it works in the same way that the photograph does. In 3D street work, it often creates an optical illusion which creates the impression that the person standing on the art is elevated. In the Merve Özaslan’s work, she creates the same effect in the fact that the people in black and white look as if they are higher than the trees in the photograph. This is because of the way the photograph of the trees has been taken – from an ariel view, montaging this photograph with the urban, black and white photograph will create an optical illusion.INTERPRET Merve Özaslan creates her work with the use of ‘photo montaging’. A photo montage can be done on Photoshop in a digital process, or can be done manually using the cutting and pasting method.JUDGE In my opinion, I like Özaslan’s work because how the two photographs that she has put together work so well together. Although, I would use photographs that have been taken in more recent years. DESCRIBE The photograph above is of two ladies laughing together in their swimsuits. This photograph comes from the series by Merve Özaslan called ‘Natural Act’ in which she tried to show rural and urban environments in the same light.
