This is a wonderful manipulated photograph. I went looking through your b&w linked set and there are many, many more terrific images, Susu. I also went to the Turku site and went through one of the magazines I found there. It's been a pleasant morning learning a bit more about your part of the world.
You are thorough, Mick! Respect!
Turku is a nice town. Although it's one of the biggest cities in Finland, it's pleasantly small. You can walk around easily and take photos.
A lot of the photos are rather apocalyptic, as if after an a-bomb, or taken with a tank camera in the middle of a war-scene. Trees and roofs through distorted image, an empty street in frozen time. Works for me aesthetically.
Maybe the strangeness of familiar surroundings shows in these photos? A scene you know by heart, since your childhood, but which isn't a part of your life today.
The result is both strange and familiar. Frozen moments of past and today?
Perhaps it is the time stopped with the disappearance of everyday going-abouts: no parked car of the neigbour, a closed window where one always used to be open. A place uneasily become space.
Perhaps.
It's a strange feeling.
