Abstract Expressionit Art photography. Taken at a visiting fairground using natural manipulation and mirrors to produce a multiple exposure effect and dreamlike vision of the everyday action around me. This was an experiment but it created an effect that I want to reproduce again. I noticed that the Grabber machines had mirrors at the back and curved mirrors to the sides of them which not only reflected the toys but also caught the reflections of the action in front of them. By focusing on two mirrors angled in opposing directions i was able to create a multiple exposure effect as the camera picked up layers of reflections on the plain glass of the toys in the machine , the stall behind me and glimpses of the signs and the houses adjacent to the machine. Although the main subject of the image is mundane , I do feel that the surreal effect is reminiscent of our brain wandering into a dream and seeing memories reflection jumbled into haze until it is able to rearrange the information to begin on it's nocturnal adventure.
