Nairobi
under Attack
Am not trying to be a prophet of doom nor am I a pessimist, should this happen it shall be by pure coincidence. I`ve always seen cities in the West destroyed in movies
and thought why not destroy Nairobi.
This is a revived project after I got busy and abandoned it. t'was for the lov of art I came back to finish it(art is like crack cocaine once its in your blood...). It was no easy task I spent lots of time googling
on elzr.com/imagery finding the right images for the composition.
I decided not to destroy the KICC instead I decided to show a few seconds before its destruction... how else would someone know its Nai?!.
I decided to use panorama(wide aspect ratio) panoramic view displays images within a greater field of view than ordinary cameras and the human eye can take in. While a human eye can take in only 70 degrees to 160 degrees of a given scene, a panoramic view generally includes 180 degrees of a field of view.
I new I couldn't get a panoramic photo of Nairobi so I devised an ingenious way to do this- I picked the Parliament from another picture and altered it to fit into perspective and added a few buildings on the left of the KICC.
Below are the images I used in the composition. most of them can be recognised but some have been duplicated flipped around,filtered, blended,wrapped, distorted and mutilated beyond recognition.
