Lost in Translation | Magazingestaltung
The feeling of being lost in a new city is something a lot of people can relate to. It takes some time to adapt to another culture. At first you might not understand the language, you’re not used to the eating habbits or tradtions and so on. The movie „lost in translation“ is about two strangers in a foreign land - both in the middle of a life crisis. For my visual communication class I picked that movie to visualize it in my own way. The topics of the book are e.g. culture shock, loneliness or existential boredom and questions like „What can we do when life loses meaning“. It’s a mixture of film screen caputures, own photographs, film quotes and articles. It tries to to visualize the discomfort and the feeling of being lost in a new country by adapting the blurriness and the color, while trying to find the right motif. All of the b&w analog photos are made by me in Japan, Tokyo/Kyoto. Colored one’s are from the film „Lost in Translation“ – Sofia Coppola, 2003.
