I think Probst's works are amazing becasue they exmine this idea of reality and the staged within photographs. They also help dismantle and change this idea of the 'decisive moment'. What if there are many of them>? what if they are synchonised to be extremely close togather?
Each of these works presents the same scene, in fact the we must assume the same split second from upwards of two very different viewpoints. How does this effect our relationship to the frame and to the images?> Is it more real because we see the same scene/person/people from many viewpoints and we can make a more complete picture from this? or does it help us work through (and overcome) the most basic of photographic editing devices- the cropping of the frame-so we "see more".
I love these images for several reasons. They present a scene and a moment in time and space in a very different way and they also alter how we think about these moments. The undermine the concept that there is only one of these moemtns as we push the shutter. These multiple frames are so much more effective than a single still of the below scenes/. This use of many viewpoints alters this whole concept of the truth in the image... it makes us realise how much the camera can be manipulated...which camera is the "true" one? and how would we know?
