Pictures of People with One Eye Closed

Zhu Yunwei,a product design student in Germany, created a collection of portraits of people with one eye closed. To do this, he took two pictures: one with open eyes, one with closed eyes. Then he created one composite image. The effect is a little bit calm but unnatural.

I'm going to let Zhu explain why he created this work in his own words.

In my works, I show two entirely incompatible states at the same time two states of consciousness. I believe these basic states are just like the simple contrasts - black and white. I chose the portrait format. The face is the most direct and basic element / inter-medium of
human expression. Expressions such as laughter have a universal meaning and are metaphorical all over the world. I have taken many pictures of different people in the studio at my college. These people are of different ages, different backgrounds and countries of origin.

I think I will share five more pictures from the collection.
