- Reality in paintings and photographs -

Abstract

In many cases, perception and Kansei is integrated and appear as one consciousness in " here and now". The Kansei impressions relating to the high realistic sensation such as the impression of depth, texture and size seem not to be separated easily from the perception of depth, texture and size. However, while the perception of depth based on linear perspective or the perception of shadow is determined by local judgment, the impression of strangeness or inconsistency in the scene is perceived by global judgment across a whole scene. That is, perception and Kansei not only has the similar function but also work respectively with each characteristic. In this paper, through the trompe-l'oeil which is mistaken for actual objects in spite of just a painting and the miniature effect which is mistaken for miniature objects in spite of a real scene, I considered the reality of paintings and photographs, and further considered about perception and Kansei.
