Magic Window

Grainy 35mm film photo from 1975.

A construction worker is installing a large glass window pane on
the ground floor of a brick house.

Through the clear glass,
instead of seeing the interior of the
room,
we see a view looking down from a skyscraper at night onto a neon Tokyo metropolis.

The
reflection in the glass,
however,
correctly shows the sunny suburban garden behind the
photographer.

Visual anomaly,
subtle horror,
analog texture.

一张摄于1975年的颗粒感很强的35毫米胶片照片。一位建筑工人在一栋砖房的一楼安装一块巨大的玻璃窗。透过这块透明的玻璃，我们看到的不是房间内部，而是从摩天大楼俯瞰夜色中霓虹闪烁的东京都市景象。然而，玻璃的倒影却正确地展现了摄影师身后阳光明媚的郊区花园。视觉上的异常，一种微妙的恐怖感，以及胶片特有的质感。
