(iii) Hide-and-seek of images Other interesting shapes of hide-and-seek can be created using photography. The work in Figure 573 is made of strips of a photograph which were cut the same width. The pieces were pasted onto a piece of black paper, maintaining the equal spacing. Since the wide black lines make a vertical lattice, the surface indeed seems to appear and disappear between the lattice. However, the shape of the surface is apparently different from a photograph actually taken through a lattice. Figure 574 shows a work formed by covering the famous painting of Taisei by small pieces of squares made by cutting another monochrome photograph into many small pieces. Although it is a little regretful that the image of the monochrome photograph is not clear, this work is categorized into a photograph or picture in which two images coexist. Figure 575 is an example of a KOHSEI (Basic Art & Design) by mutually inserting two front pages of the same magazine of different volumes by cutting them into lozenges in a checkered pattern. Efforts have been made to naturally combine the characters "Tsubaki Brossam(s)" in the two front pages, and simultaneously an interest is created by overlapping the two female faces with each other, with a delicate appearance and disappearance. Two girls' faces are observed in Figure 576. They are very similar, but are not twins. Intervals were made from a photography by cutting off stripes and then pasting the stripes cut from the photograph in the reverse direction. In a word, this work is made of a photograph. Figure 578 represents a work made by mutually inserting
two completely different photographs from a fashion magazine. This utilizes
a method of making a good contrast with Figure 575, and heads, faces, and
other parts of the bodies are significantly shifted without much consideration.
