Elevation #2 aims to de-familiarize and extend photography in an alternative digital imagemaking process, inspired by the everyday cognitive process of assembling and organizing visual fragments into a complete mental picture of an object or space. The experience of traveling inside old elevators has always fascinated the artist because the metal gate functions as a window onto a space that is otherwise closed, invisible, and encapsulated. We rely on the elevator trip to understand this closed space, so we develop a complete image of it in our minds on the basis of piecewise information. Elevation #2 serves as a visual equivalent of the elevator experience, while it aims to extend the limits of regular fixed-point-of-view photography without sacrificing the simplicity and elegance of the art form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artixels.com\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Elevation2_work.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artixels.com\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Elevation2_work.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.artixels.com\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Elevation2_work-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was the first time I joined SIGGRAPH Art Gallery in San Diego, United States.
