TIME, EVENT AND PLACE. PERSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE WORK "BLUE TERRACE LOS ANGELES MARCH 8TH 1982" BY DAVID HOCKNEY

Abstract

The study that we undertake from the work "Blue Terrace Los Angeles 8th 1982" by David Hockney, is motivated by the fascination caused by the combination of Polaroid snapshots or reflex photographs that the artist developed in this type of works, called Joiners, consisting of multiple photographic images composed around a motif, an operation through which it is attempted to create and communicate about the perception for space and time (De ARCH, 2016). The introduction of mismatches in distances, differences in points of view, and frames between takes for a given subject, presents the temporal display in the recomposed image, questioning the instantaneous nature of the photograph. This specific work presents an opportunity to study the perspective restitution of the photographic images that compose it, since the analysis is approached as projections in the frame plane to reveal Hockney's performance in the face of this motif.
