Another fascinating exhibition. The concept, that of vanishing time, a vanquishing of time – inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five and the Japanese photographer Kikuji Kawada’s 1965 photobook The Map – is simply inspired https://voltage-bet.co/. Although the images are not war photography per se, they are about the lasting psychological effects of war imaged on a variable time scale.
And today, in 2014, 100 years since the start of the First World War, it seems more important than ever not only to understand the nature and long-term effects of conflict, but also the process of looking back at the past…”

Retro graphic
Retro art doesn’t have to be completely accurate to the past. Often retro designs simply take a few elements from a certain timeframe and incorporate them into a modern environment. Nowadays, retro style is often used to describe new things that have the characteristics of the past. The word retro itself derives from Latin and means ‘past times’.

To achieve this retro aesthetic you need some form of source material, such as old American comics or advertising art. And although a bit difficult to properly pull off, you can even go as far as using your own selfies for this.
