Oversize Me

Manipulating scale alters the spatial dynamics of a photograph. It creates a different sense of depth, distance, or focus, changing how viewers perceive the space and relationships within that image. Up- or downscaling elements is often used to symbolize importance or insignificance. For example, making a figure larger than life can suggest power, divinity, or influence.

In this photo series the over-sizing of characters and objects on one hand really just is supposed to underline the somewhat blown out of proportion dimensions, or if you want the life style of the former occupants, yet the somber, almost dreary character of this mid-sixties Villa, owned by a Textile Industrialist.
