Google街景服務讓我們可以足不出戶就能雲遊世界,一窺各地街道實景,不過對於藝術家Halley Docherty而言,這項便利技術還有著更重要的用途。
利用Google街景服務找到Beatles、Oasis、Led Zeppelin、Eminem及Bob Dylan等樂隊、歌手經典專輯的拍攝地點,然後將專輯封面照融入其中,一幅幅很熟悉,但氛圍已大不同的合成照透過對比讓我們看到了多年後拍攝地點的變化,Eminem兒時住房子如今已被拆毀,Beastie Boys專輯封面中的時裝店Paul’s Boutique原本是間平價小鋪,估計當時誰都沒想到多年之後這裡會成了中產階級的消費地方吧?如果你自認歐美樂迷,那麼不妨拉下去猜猜看看封面中的場景究竟來自哪裡吧!
Abbey Road by the Beatles(這條斑馬線大家不會不認得吧?在Abbey Road錄音室外的這條斑馬線在這張專輯面世後便成為了樂迷的朝聖地,不慎入鏡的車牌最後還被高價拍賣哦!)

繼Google街景 x 經典專輯封面之後, 藝術家Halley Docherty最近又再帶來了同類型作品,不過這一次,與街景合體的不是封面照,而是來自 Edward Hopper、Gustav Bauernfeind、Canaletto、Francesco Guardi、Jean Béraud,以及歌川廣重等畫家的著名畫作。舊日風光被嵌入街景之中,新容舊貌的對比凸顯出城市的變遷,給人穿越時空的錯覺,同時也讓人不僅懷念起來。
