Blowup

Today I wandered around Torpoint and into Thankes Park where I snapped this green scene. It reminded me very much of the location of the Antonioni film Blowup which I first saw 48 years ago! Maybe there is a body in this shot too!

The photographer in Blow-Up, who is not a philosopher, wants to see things closer up. But it so happens that, by enlarging too far, the object itself decomposes and disappears. Hence there's a moment in which we grasp reality, but then the moment passes. This was in part the meaning of Blow-Up
