Publisher's Synopsis
Journey to Wonderland visually displays a pictorial narrative of the timeless classical children's novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by English author Lewis Carroll. It is a theatrical adaptation that reflects Alice's long journey down the rabbit hole. There she discovers an extraordinary world of unusual characters and encounters unforeseeable challenges.
Lewis Carroll created a world where animals acted like real people, expressing unique personal characteristics; feelings of happiness, sadness, anger, frustrations, and obsessive personal flaws all driven to meet their own basic needs. The Holga plastic toy camera has unique features, soft focus; intense vignetting; and distortions, producing extraordinary imagery that masquerades as illusions and invites viewers to see through the eyes of Alice's imagination.Journey to Wonderland touches upon the story's focal point, in which the main character, Alice, uncovers a world of imagination that goes beyond the feelings of her reality. It also symbolizes a personal journey in discovering ways to create complex images involving different technical aspects that affect the quality of photographs. Despite the Holga camera's limitations, the results are unique unexpected, and unpredictable. But that is the beauty of it.Jessie LukeFine Arts Photographerwww.JessieILuke.com
