Il digital artist Aydın Büyüktaş ha creato un secondo capitolo del progetto Flatland, creando una nuova serie di paesaggi in cui le leggi del tempo e dello spazio sembrano non avere importanza.

La nuova collezione è stata realizzata da Büyüktaş dopo un viaggio negli Stati Uniti. Ogni immagine è creata a partire da 18-20 immagini scattate da un drone, cuciti poi digitalmente in modo da formare ampi paesaggi deformati, privi di un orizzonte, come frutto di una flessione spazio/tempo.

Iniziate a scrollare e fate buon viaggio. Poi fate un’altra corsa andando a rivedere il primo capitolo di Flatland.

Photographer Aydın Büyüktaş has published a new series of photos as part of his delightful Flatland series, which shows landscapes folding upon themselves like something out of the movie Inception.

Büyüktaş says he was originally inspired to create the series after reading the book Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbat.

His latest photos were captured in various places across the United States, including sites in Arizona, Texas, California and New Mexico.

Büyüktaş searches for locations using Google Earth, and planning his shots took about 2 months.

After coming up with a list of places to visit, Büyüktaş spent a month on a road, traveling about 10,000 miles to create the images.

At each of the locations, Büyüktaş used a drone and captured about 18 to 20 photos, which he then stitched together to create each bended landscape.

just over a year ago, turkish artist aydın büyüktaş turned the streets of istanbul upside down to form surreal city scenes for his series ‘flatland’. now, having recently returned from a trip to the united states, büyüktaş has completed a second installment in the series that completely warps american landscapes and defies the laws of physical existence. drawing from the satirical novel ‘flatland: a romance of many dimensions’ by edwin abbott — which tells the story of a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures — the artist has once again distorted viewers perception of space and dimension.

the locations included in büyüktaş’ ‘flatland II’ series took more than two months to scout and plan. over the course of another month, büyüktaş shot the photos over about 10,000 miles of land in the united states. using between 18-20 photos, the artist then carefully created digital collages that stretch into the sky and fold backwards onto themselves. rolling landscapes and cow farms seemingly double over, while baseball and football stadiums appear to reverse the laws of gravity.

‘the idea that I could depict surreal places that I saw in my dreams and thought of in my childhood gradually started to occur in my mind,’ büyüktaş describes. ‘during my childhood and adolescence, I read science fiction series of writers such as isaac asimov and H.G. wells and scientific and technical journals. these books made me question issues such as wormholes, black holes, parallel universes, gravitation, and the bending of space and time. while I was reading ‘hyperspace’ by michio kaku, I was obsessed with the idea of a black hole occurring in the place we live, and how it would bend space, time and place.’
