infinite repetition by kimi nishikawa from usa

these images, like all my artworks, are meant to be seen simultaneously as objects of beauty and facile digital manipulations. they are constructed using the same simple rules: a single piece of a digital photograph is copied, flipped and rotated so the pieces fit together to make a coherent non-disjointed whole.
forcing the pieces into symmetry produces a unique “emergent” pattern, which arises from the alignment of components of the original photograph. the resulting images can be read as both real objects and abstract patterns. I find the new and unique patterns that are created both beautiful and surprising.
