평면적인 피사체에 입체감을 부여하는 추상적 사진 표현에 관한 연구

Abstract

Like painting, photograph as a planar art is to represent a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. In this process, some graphic methods such as overlapping, vertical, diminution, and aerial perspective are applied to give a sense of space. Once in painting, camera obscura, which became the prototype of modern camera, was used to apply realistic expression and the precise perspective. A three-dimensional object is concurrently expressed with a sense of space when represented on a photographic surface as perspective is naturally applied to it. However, a planar object has no way but to be shown in two-dimensional on a photograph. All objects are essentially not plane even if they look flat, but there are some occasions to feel a sense of space on the mental level. This experimental work aimed at representing planar objects on the depictive level with a sense of space so that it can work on the mental level as well. In the methodology, we used light and dark contrast according to the push and pull theory of Hans Hofmann and sharpness and blurriness in focus based on the nature of photographs of Stephen Shore. By applying various lights to our concept of the ‘Focus Gradient Plane’, we can express abstract planar image that gives a depth of space.
