Palla's architectural photo cut-ups


Architect-turned-photographer Kazuhiko Kawahara (AKA Palla), from Osaka, Japan, takes simple architectural photographs and then digitally mirrors, rotates, cuts, pastes, darkens, lightens, and combines them into stunning new images. From a PingMag interview with Palla:
 Images Article Palla13 By making it symmetrical I confront the natural with the mechanical, the artificial. Architecture in itself is made entirely by people to be used and controlled by people. It is artificial. However, when people come and gather, it becomes like a city, a living organism and the situation transforms into something more natural. My works contain both those artificial and natural components. I’m attracted by the dynamism of the change from a simple form to a complicated organism.
