Gottfried Helnwein Response

Gottfried Helnwein's work is an close up image of a portion of someone's face. The image shows one of their eyes and eyebrows, their nose, their upper lip and a tiny person climbing up the center of the face as if it were a mountain and he was rock climbing. I think this is a picture was strategically shot so it looked as if the man were climbing the girl's face, when in reality, it could have been a painting on the side of a building or a wall or something, though the image doesn't really look painted on to anything. I think the photographer's intent was for the image to look like it was photoshopped, and he tried to convey the meaning of how perspective can change the way you think of things, possibly. The difference in scale between the man and the girl's face adds to my interpretation of the photography because the girl looks like a realistic girl, and the man could actually be climbing the face.
