# Ghostly Carousel Photography This Pep Ventosa Series is Ethereal By Josh Triantafilou | Published 2012-04-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pep-ventosas References: [ignant.de](http://www.ignant.de/2012/04/16/pep-ventosa/) On his website, Pep Ventosas describes his work as focused on discovering "[new visual experiences in photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color)." His recent series titled simply, ‘Carousels – In the Round,’ achieves this. Much of this is owed to the technique that Ventosas employed when shooting the series. Each photograph was shot as he circled around a number of carousels. He then overlaid these photographs on one another to create an [amalgamation of perspectives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker-multi-cam). As such, one may think they are looking at a single image but they are not. Instead one is viewing each carousel from a multitude of angles simultaneously. This produces an [ephemeral, ghostly effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow). Looking at the series is like trying to remember a quickly fading memory. Most photography distills a specific perspective at a particular moment. Carousels – In the Round makes it clear that much of our impression of places and objects is an amalgamation of different memories and perspectives. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ethereal Photography:** Pursue the creation of unique visual experiences by utilizing unconventional photography techniques to produce otherworldly, ghostly images. - **Multidimensional Imagery:** Incorporate the layering of multiple images to produce multidimensional and composite perspectives of a subject. - **Memory Reminiscence:** Explore ways to visually represent the ephemeral and fleeting nature of memory, creating artistic pieces that leverage the viewers' own memories to produce a lasting impression. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Photography:** Incorporate Ventosa’s unconventional photography techniques to create innovative and otherworldly pieces that capture subjects in multidimensional ways. - **Livestreaming Events:** Utilize the layering of multiple images to recreate the feeling of a live event, allowing viewers to experience the event from different angles and perspectives in real-time. - **Virtual Reality:** Leverage Ventosa's technique of overlaying multiple images to create an immersive and multidimensional virtual reality experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Color-Blending Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/felipe-pantone.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Artfully Rotating Glass Pillars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panorama.md) - [Multi-Lens Capture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker-multi-cam.md) - [Forgotten Theme-Park Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forgotten-fantasy.md)
