Photographer Jerry Uelsmann also focuses surrealism within his work. Uelsmann’s photographs are not meant to depict a familiar place, but rather allow the viewer to make their own interpretations and question its location and realism of the photograph. Like the Pictorialist movement in the twentieth century, Uelsmann’s work played on big ideas, and because those ideas are so vague, the artist did not allow room for literal interpretation of his work, but rather left the interpretation to the subjective. Uelsmann believes that his work touches the viewer on a personal level and communicates his emotion better through the unimaginable settings that he creates.
This is something which i would like also to create in my own work, which would allow the video I am working on to become more emotionally attached with the viewer and therefore have a deeper meaning to it.
