Some more scanner experiments, this time with Jarry's head. I feel like these work so much better than the Parisian scenes. The distorting of the human form is a lot more interesting and visually appealing.
The same challenges and considerations applied as with the previous ones; the balance of how much to move them and the directions which to move them in. At times, the most simple ones were the most effective, but also my favourites were the duplicates, especially the vertical ones. There are some very sinister and eerie ones, where only just eyes per out with no body, and the flipped doubles show a sense of split personality maybe.
The most successful one however is the one below. The way the scanner has added colour has created a very demonic, dark ghostly figure above Jarry's head with orange eyes. The way of it comes out of the top of his head could represent his crazy and far out ideas, although I don't believe they are quite as dark as the image suggests.
The images with three versions of Jarry is also a good reference to imagery portrayed in one of his fictions, where the astral body and soul floats above the character. This is a visual idea that I wanted to incorporate somehow and the scanner has inadvertently achieved it.
