EDITORS COMMENTS
In the enigmatic realm of surrealist art, German photographer Herbert Reinecke invites us to ponder the intriguing tableau of "The Others Only Play with Wooden Figures." This evocative photograph, a composite of multiple images expertly woven together in a montage, transports us to a dreamlike world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. At the heart of this surreal scene lies an elongated checkered table, its patterned surface a testament to the classic game of chess. Yet, as we delve deeper into this composite image, we discover that the game's pieces have come to life. Men in hats, their faces obscured by shadows, engage in an intense and captivating match. Their wooden bodies, once mere symbols of strategy and conquest, now embody a sense of human emotion and determination. The surrealistic elements of this photograph are further accentuated by the juxtaposition of the checkered table with a seemingly ordinary living room background. The contrast between the mundane and the fantastical creates an intriguing tension, inviting the viewer to question the nature of reality and the power of imagination. Reinecke's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to this surreal scene. The hats of the wooden figures cast intriguing shadows on the checkered table, while the soft, diffused light illuminates the room, creating an ethereal atmosphere. "The Others Only Play with Wooden Figures" is a testament to the power of surrealism to challenge our perceptions and provoke thought. Through his innovative use of composite photography, Reinecke invites us to explore the depths of our imagination and to question the nature of reality. This photograph is a must-see for any fan of surrealist art or those seeking to expand their understanding of the power of photography to transport us to new worlds.
