Chino Otsuka's 'Imagine Finding Me' Double Self-Portraits
Marissa Brassfield — April 17, 2009 — Art & Design
Chino Otsuka's 'Imagine Finding Me' photo collection is a series of double self-portraits that fuse past and present into a single image. They're a stunning exploration of time travel and the possibility of meeting one's past self.
Chino Otsuka's 'Imagine Finding Me' series demonstrates what is perhaps my favorite sort of self-portrait--one that blends the subject's childhood and adulthood into one.
Implications - A sense of adventure is something that all consumers are drawn in by, and collections like this play on this innate desire that all people share in a big way. By embracing the concept of exploration, advertisements can create an altogether more profound impact on their target viewers than might otherwise be possible with a more mundane approach.
