Andre Kertesz

Andre Kertesz was a Hungarian born photographer. Kertesz did a series of images which I am going to focus on called distortion. He did these images for a french magazine. Since the war he had been interested in the optical distortions created by water or the chromium-plate housings of auto lamps. For this project he used three mirrors and a camera designed to expose 9x12cm negatives fitted with an early zoom lens. "Sometimes, just by a half a step left or right, all the shapes and forms have changed. I viewed the changes and stopped whenever I liked the combination of distorted body shapes"- Andre Kertesz

In these images I really like how you can't always tell which part of the body is what because it's all so distorted. It looks like the women in the images are melting and becoming part of the background they are next to or on. This is like how I feel at this time now we are becoming part of technology and merging into it so it becomes part of us, like these women in Andre's images are merging and become part of whats around them and becoming something there not.
