ZANZ

 

 "ZANZ" is derived from the Japanese word "Zanzo," meaning "afterimage," and is a coherent series of more than 1000 high-resolution (8000x5333px) photographic NFTs.

This series is a sequel to the work that won Honorable Mention at IPA (International Photo Awards), the largest contest in the USA in 2020.  [IPA 2020 Awarded Works]

These photos were taken of Christmas lights and fireworks using the ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) technique, and the "after-images" were visualized. When photographing landscapes with ICM, the image is streamed and blurred, creating a fantastic image. However, when photographing the strong light of Christmas lights and fireworks, the image becomes clear and complex, like computer graphics, by moving the camera. This is a new and beautiful art of light created by the coordination of many small lights and human movement. Coincidence plays a major role in this process, creating images beyond the creator's imagination and allowing the viewer to explore beauty and aesthetics.
