Mexico City from the very special perspective of the well-known photo artist Kellner. His unique slide strip collage technique creates fascinating masterpieces. How human vision works is better modeled by one of Thomas Kellner's composite photographs than by a painting by Johann Moritz Rugenda (1803-1858), a German traveler who traveled to Mexico around 1832.
This claim is not based on the difference between the two media, but between them and human vision. The photographic camera is a misleading model for human vision, and vice versa. It is an illusion generated by our synthesizing brain that human vision captures an entire scene in one, as a photographic camera does. By summing up rapid scanning processes of the eyes at each moment, which are fixated on small sections of the visual field, the brain is much more likely to construct a scene that is never actually preserved, but is continuously reconstructed while we let the focal point of our attention wander.
The technique of composing images with multiple photographic images, which Kellner has been using since 1997 to make us see anew the most iconic architectural works in the world - from Stonehenge to Teotihuacán - comes close to this visual process.
