Introspection

"...why should we not calmly and patiently review our own thoughts, and thoroughly examine and see what these appearances in us really are?" Plato (Theaetetus, 155)

Thanks to pedro vidigal for having the patience to act as the model.

* Inpired on Ron Mueck Exibition, on Broolkyn Museum.

** This shot was made with a cloning proceadure, using gimp (an open source software equivalent to Photoshop): two shots were taken at the same spot, imported to gimp on two different layers, and then, on the top layer the body of pedro was deleted, using the delete tool, in such a way that the bottom layer became visible, leaving only the head from the top layer.
See here the details of the execution

Interessante introspecção! Depois de dedos cortados com esparguete, cabeças no cepo... A imaginação e a criatividade não têm limites :)

@wise wolf: Não é preciso, ficou lá a outra ... Ainda pensei fazer uma retirando a cabeça do Pedro a observar, mas achei que era demais ...

Um corta dedos e o outro corta logo a cabeça...
E a mãe assiste a isto tudo???
E que tal a cabeça ter ficado direita?
Posted 35 months ago. ( permalink )

Ana Louro says:

:D Só me dá vontade de rir a olhar para os olhos do Pedro...
Pois, sem a cabeça seria demais...
Très bien, com o efeito das sombras e tudo (até parece que percebo do assunto, mas parece-me bem feita).
Posted 35 months ago. ( permalink )

antonioVi says:

@ @rmando: Colocar a cabeça direita, obrigaria a usar uma "collage", técnica mais trabalhosa para ficar minimamente realista. Aqui optei por utilizar clonagem, relativamente rápida de fazer, mas que me obrigou pedir ao Pedro para deitar a cabeça na Pedra, para posteriormente apagar o corpo.

PLopes says:

para trabalho rápido está excepcional,
a imagem original tinha 2973 x 2295 de resolução?
não se nota aliasing nenhum no corte, ou o gimp é muito bom ou o artista é excepcional ou ambos ou não sei :-)

não conheço o gimp mas vai faltar pouco para lhe meter os dedos em cima, o download 'tá feito, agora faltam os help files e instalar :-)
