Critical Analysis: Balloon Head
Context:
This image does not have a suitable title, though I will call it "Balloon Head". In the piece you can see a floating clock attached to some balloons. You can also see a person sitting down on a chair with a balloon for a head instead of an actual head. The clock may resemble that we as humans all have an expiry date, and the time will eventually come. The absence of the head may indicate that we should not pay much attention as to when that time will come, but to enjoy everything that we can see around us. Content: This piece was created by a Swedish photographer called Tommy Inberg. I think that this piece may be inspired by the idea of a time clock on life. Process: This image was published in 2012, so he may have used photoshop to edit this image, his work is based on digital editing so it is very likely that he did use this tool. Evaluate: I like the idea of this image, as it is very relevant and can spread a much deeper message to his audience, I also like the black and white effect he adopts, that makes his image look extra classy. |
