How do you see the world?

Look around you - do you see the scene in front of you as a whole scene, a neat little square with every thing visible at once - just like a photograph or painting?

Or do you see a variety of elements and fragments?

David Hockney 'Pearblossom Highway, 11th to 18th April 1986

Hockney would have had to bend down to photograph the floor, climb up ladders to photograph the street signs and walk down the highway to photograph the horizon. All this took him 8 days so he did not only warped space and distance but also showed the passing of time in one image. The image also showed the scene from multiple viewpoints - just like way we see the world.

Photographers influenced by Hockney
