Christian Vogt Recreation

Christian Vogt is a Swiss photographer that produced the picture Untitled Metaphysical Scene, in 1972 right before he entered his 'blue period.' This is where he began producing pictures within another picture.

When I first saw this picture I had no clue what was going on, and immediately decided that I was going to go with my other photo choice. I happened to take another look at it though, and what I saw caught my interest. I realized there was a man wrapped in a sheet, or what looked like to be a pillow case. When you look at the photo, you can't tell it's a man wrapped up until you happen to see the shadow the figure creates. It forms the shape of a person jumping with their knees slightly bent, and facing upward toward the sky.
I took this to mean that things aren't always what they seem.

So for my recreation, I continued with the shadow effects to show how something can look one way, but when put in the right light can come out as something totally different. I decided to use hand puppets, because when you put your hands together in a weird form, you don't always know what you are creating. But when put in the right light, something that makes more sense appears. Hence the clear bunny rabbit shadow, compared to the tangled fingers.
