The photo was taken in Sapporo Japan in December 2022 during my trip, I used a full spectrum camera to capture the shot, it was cold and sowing, with neon light reflecting on the ground covered in snow and ice. The photo was edited in a cyberpunk style, as I wanted to highlight the color of the night. This photo was from my "Psytopia" series.
The ongoing photographic series, "Psytopia," is a compelling display of the fusion of reality and fantasy, capturing w.vv.vv's unique perception of the world. The artist used their work to express their chaotic thoughts and emotions, creating dreamy images that transport the viewer to their unconscious mind. The artist spent countless nights wandering the streets in different cities capturing the photographs, aiming to create an atmosphere and mood out of regular street scenes that often go unnoticed. Some of the photographs from the series were taken from back alleys, places people seldom venture into or find interesting. Through expert photo manipulation, the artist crafted a world that evokes a sense of loneliness amidst the bustle of busy cities. By emptying the streets or leaving just one person in the scene, a stark contrast is created between the vibrancy of the city and the desolation of its inhabitants. Alternative colors express detachment from the collective consciousness and resonate with the feeling of being labeled as a societal outcast. Each photograph delves deep into a psychic dimension, portraying an otherworldly hallucination of ordinary cityscapes. "Psytopia" is a testament to the power of art to evoke emotion and inspire introspection, reflecting the artist's journey through a labyrinth of the psyche.
