DESIGN NAME: Multivision Porsche Shanghai
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Photography Artwork
INSPIRATION: Shanghai has many different faces. You can find the old, traditional China, the influences of France in the "Former French Concession" and of course very modern glass and steel architecture.
I wanted to capture these different faces of the city in multiple exposures, always with a Porsche in the picture. Because no matter how distorted the environment appears through the multiple exposure, you can always recognize the iconic design of the Porsche.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Porsche China asked me if I’d like to shoot in Shanghai and create some artwork for the PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai, including their iconic sportscars.
I created pictures in the style of my “Multivision” series to show the various vibrant faces of this great city.
It's multiple exposure photography, always three photographies in one picture.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: 1. Digital location scouting via internet, Google Earth, etc.
2. Physical location scouting in Shanghai
3. Shooting in the streets of Shanghai
4. Post Production
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Location-Scouting and Shooting: 10 days, 10 more days for postproduction
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Photography and Photo Manipulation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Digital photography, the artworks are finished as Fine-Art prints, mounted on Alu-Dibond.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Different Artworks in different sizes, all in limited editions
TAGS: Shanghai, China, Porsche, multiple exposure, photography
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project started with a call from Porsche China. I created a concept and did the creative direction. All in all, I didn't have much time, there were about 3 months between the creation of the concept and the exhibition for Porsche's 70th birthday at Photofairs Shanghai.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was the weather and to find locations, where a multiple exposure of Shanghai gives a good view to the different faces of the city.
