In-between Double - Hye-Ryoung Min

“The human heart cannot make itself understood.  And once the truth within that heart reaches out, through language, song or dance it inevitably becomes distorted and its shape is altered into another.

I believe that as photographers we can see into the lives of strangers.  But our vision is only an approximation, an imperfect version of their reality.  My series In-between Double is the image that results from the intersection of my path and their own; their shape colored by my feeling, translating into a third language.

What kinds of thoughts do we live with?  What are the recurrent themes that dominate our days or perhaps keep us from sleeping at night?  And how do we chart the fleeting sensory perceptions that trigger the remembrance of things past?  Can this kind of experience be represented photographically?

My series, In-between Double followed passerby through the rhythms of their daily lives and portrayed them by guessing at their hidden emotions. The resulting images are multi-layered explorations of the transient and evanescent nature of our humanity; a delicate weaving of thought, feeling and emotion: the vanishing echo of our passage through the world.”

Miniature Calendar Tatsuya Tanaka

Everyone must have had similar thoughts at least once. Broccoli and parsley might sometimes look like a forest, or the tree leaves floating on the surface of the water might sometimes look like little boats. Everyday occurrences seen from a pygmy’s perspective can bring us lots of fun thoughts.

I wanted to take this way of thinking and express it through photographs, so I started to put together a “Miniature Calendar” These photographs primarily depict diorama-style figures surrounded by daily necessaries. Just like a standard daily calendar, the photos are updated daily on my website and SNS page, earning it the name of “ Miniature Calendar”.
