DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The following describes in detail exemplary embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0009] [First embodiment] A first embodiment of the present invention, an artwork 100, will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The artwork 100 includes a cross-sectional image 130 constructed by arranging multiple cut edges generated by cutting a rectangular body 110, consisting of a stack of multiple sequential photographs 101-109, along a predetermined straight line 120. The sequential photographs are printed using a laser printer. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Examples include silver halide printing, laser printing, offset printing, inkjet printing, and layered 3D printing, which allow for multicolor printing with different frames per layer. Any material capable of supporting an image is acceptable, and is not limited to the examples given here. A pair of cross-sectional images 130, consisting of multiple cut edges generated by cutting, are presented. Unlike any other single photograph in the sequential photographs, these cross-sectional images 130 represent changes over time (in this example, time progresses as one moves further back) at a single point in the photographed space (more precisely, on a line standing on a single point on the ground). Here, the cross-sectional image is perpendicular to the image plane of the photograph. In this way, a rectangular body 110 consisting of a stack of overlapping consecutive photographs is cut along a predetermined straight line or an arc-shaped curve, and cut surface images 130, each of which is an array of cut edges, are arranged facing each other at a predetermined angle.

[0010] The cross-section image 130, made up of multiple cut edges, is a photographic expression that "captures time." If a normal photograph is a projection of three dimensions onto the XY plane, this work takes the "direction in which the successive photographs are superimposed = time" as the Z axis, and makes it possible to observe time through cutting.

[0011] In one frame of the raw sequential photographs, the vertical length of the subject (here, a horse) closest to the cutting point is defined as x (mm). When the thickness of the paper is defined as y (mm), the number of sheets where the aspect ratio of the subject appearing in the cut surface image 130 consisting of multiple cut edges is close to that of the raw sequential photographs is defined as z. x (length of subject on continuous photograph) = y (thickness of support such as paper) x z (number of supports) If the length of the subject is x=1000 and the thickness of the paper is y=0.8, then z=1250.

[0012] For example, if the total length of an object passing through line 120 is 3000 mm and the passing speed is 7500 mm / s, it will pass through line 120 in 0.4 seconds. In other words, it is necessary to take z=1250 consecutive photographs that make up the cross-sectional photograph within 0.4 seconds.

[0013] In this case, the video frame rate required for shooting (the number of frames displayed per second) is 3125 frames per second. If the number of frames per second is insufficient, the image will be compressed in the X direction as shown in 201 on the left in Figure 2, and if the number of frames per second is too high, the image will be stretched as shown in 202 on the right in Figure 2.

[0014] [Second embodiment] Next, an artwork according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram for explaining a method for manufacturing an artwork according to this embodiment.

[0015] One frame of a video is folded in half along a predetermined straight line as shown in Figure 3. By arranging the mountain fold edge in the order of the consecutive photographs as shown in Figure 3 and compressing it, an image similar to that of the first embodiment can be obtained. In other words, by arranging the multiple edges 301 generated by folding multiple consecutive photographs along a predetermined straight line, a clearer image can be obtained compared to the first embodiment.

[0016] [Third embodiment] Next, an artwork according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram for explaining a method for manufacturing an artwork according to this embodiment.

[0017] This manufacturing method is a method in which all frames are connected together. Continuous photographs are printed side by side on a long roll of paper 401, and mountain folds 402 and valley folds 403 are repeated.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of edges 501 created by folding are lined up and compressed, and then cut along a plane perpendicular to the edges 501, thereby producing an artwork 600 as shown in FIG.

[0019] [Fourth embodiment] Next, an artwork according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method for manufacturing an artwork according to this embodiment.

[0020] Figure 7 illustrates an artwork created by arranging multiple circular photographs, each created by cutting a rectangular block consisting of a stack of multiple sequentially overlapping photographs into circles at a predetermined center point 701 and in a predetermined increment 702. As an example, a sphere is created by cutting out circles at a predetermined increment after the diameter of the cutout circle reaches its maximum diameter. In other words, the diameter changes by a predetermined increment with each overlapping photograph, resulting in successively different diameters. For example, if the initial diameter is 5 mm, the diameter is changed by 0.1 mm with each overlap. In other words, the cutouts proceed from 5 mm to 5.1 mm to 5.2 mm, and so on until the maximum diameter. The initial value and diameter increment can be freely set. When the cutout reaches its maximum diameter, a hemisphere is created; and by gradually reducing the diameter from the maximum diameter, a sphere is created. While Figure 7 shows a sphere, adjusting the cutout shape, number of cutouts, and increment settings allows for the creation of hemispheres, cones, pyramids, rugby balls, gourds, and other distorted three-dimensional shapes.

[0021] In Figure 7, the cutout is circular, but the cutout shape of the present invention is not limited to this and can be polygonal, closed free curved, etc., and any shape with area is acceptable, not limited to the examples given here.

[0022] As shown in Figure 7, by cutting out circles at a predetermined increment from a predetermined point on a rectangular body made up of a series of consecutive photographs, an image like the one shown in Figure 8 can be obtained. Figure 8 shows photographs of the time lapse of opening a closed door, and the diameter of the circle shown in white increases as time passes in the consecutive photographs, resulting in an image of the door opening.

[0023] The photos are cut out so that the diameter gradually increases from one point on a rectangular block made up of a stack of sequential photographs (in this case, the center of the door in the image above). The door in the image above is distorted because the topmost photo of the central rectangular block is a photo of the door closed, and the larger the diameter, the more time has passed in the sequential photographs, so when the door is opened, the more time passes = the larger the diameter, the more the image of the door appears open. This photo captures the time the door is closed, the time it is opening, and the time it is open all in one photo.

[0024] Like Figure 8, Figure 9 is a photograph taken over time as a closed door is opened, but it was created by cutting out the white circles centered on the left and right doors so that their diameters decrease from their maximum. In the work in Figure 9, unlike Figure 8, the point where the diameter is greatest is the front of the rectangular body, which is a stack of consecutive photographs, and the point where the diameter is smallest is the rear of the rectangular body.

[0025] [Fifth embodiment] Next, an artwork according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 10 to 14. Figure 10 is a diagram for explaining a method for manufacturing an artwork according to this embodiment.

[0026] By overlapping a series of photographs as shown in Figures 10 and 11 and cutting them diagonally, an image can be obtained (Figure 12) in which the background remains the same as in a normal photograph, and only the things that are changing over time (for example, moving objects) are distorted.

[0027] As shown in Figure 13, if a stack of sequential photographs is cut by a cutter along a straight line 1301 while tilted, it is possible to reproduce the same images as those in Figures 10 and 11 in a single process by returning the tilt to its original state as shown in Figure 14. Cutting can be done by machine or by hand.

[0028] Additionally, although the first embodiment was cut vertically, if the image is cut horizontally and a cross-sectional image is obtained, an image like that shown in Fig. 15 is obtained. Also, if the camera is moved to photograph a still object (here, a tower), an image like that shown in Fig. 16 is obtained.
