Blowout at Exit 16A (Juried)

Blowout at Exit 16A is a vision of our future in which computer-generated elements and photo manipulation combine multiple layers of civilization. Old buildings meet new vehicles, an overdose of traffic, a mood of global warming, and the story of a car breakdown in a pulsating world. 

Intriuging details, connection of traditional and modern techniques, and a metaphor of stagnation versus progress are the main aspects of the image. Palm trees in the warm, bright sunlight refer to a future of climatic change, while old buildings remind us of the past. Artifacts of the past meet artifacts of the future - not in a context of good and evil, but in a warm and melancholic mood. 

This complex digital compositing obeys the rules of traditional painting and photography, so it becomes a bridge between times and dimensions, which is a constant topic of Till Nowak's work..
