The horizon in this picture describes an arc just as if describing the globe itself. Incorporating the technique of deformation, the work was made by burning a negative image onto warped printing paper. The photograph was taken at the coast of Akasaki near photographer Shiotani’s home in Kotoura, Tottori. [quoted from source]
