With Different Eyes Imke Braselmann

When you're walking really slowly you start to notice many things that you never saw before, because you were just racing past, maybe even looking at your smartphone. I realized that I saw faces and creatures everywhere. In scratches, waterpills, moss, bark, stones. This phenomenon is called Pareidolia. The creatures were hiding everywhere. I started to take pictures to show all these crazy creatures to my friends. But some of my friends had difficulties to see what I saw. So I tried to figure out how I could make it easier for them. That's how the project 'With different eyes' was born. Ever since then, I've been carrying a collection of Goggley-eyes whenever I went for a hike. When I found another creature, I placed the eyes at the right spots and then I took my pictures. It's amazing how much a pair of wiggley eyes to help focus where you look. And it's even more amazing where all of those creatures are hiding and how much easier it is to see them, when you place the eyes at the right spot. There is so much to see if you just open your eyes and look around. Try it out and see the world "with different eyes"! In this book, you'll follow me on my hikes and see some of the creatures I found.: ) Some of them might make you giggle. The next time you go outside, Look for the creatures, cause they hide.
