Bird’s Eye View

These photographs are a part of German photographer Andreas Gefeller‘s “Supervisions” series, consisting of spectacularly detailed birds-eye views of large spaces: unpopulated beaches, forests, parking lots, offices and cemeteries. Each image is actually a composite of hundreds of images taken from the ground level that have been digitally stitched together. “The collection’s title has an inherent double meaning. Supervisions suggest the watchful eye of surveillance, the all-knowing perspective from above, as well as ‘super visions’—enhanced vision, beyond vision, or better than vision. In this way, Gefeller asserts the discovery of a new way of seeing, an original perspective.”
