Naoya Hatajeyama

Naoya Hatajeyama uses repetition in alot of his work, creating grids of similar but slightly different images to make a statement about time/space. Also, alot of his images include reflections in water which also creates the effect of repetition within the image as a singular. When added to a grid these images become far more stunning as they appear to form geometric patterns and shapes. they almost take on a quality of the magic pattern books where matrixing of the brain allows new images to be formed.  I do like the use of the reflections in the images but it wouldnt be very appropriate within my 'step on a crack' images. However it maybe more appropriate within one of my other susperstitions that i look at. 
Many of his images look at the change caused by time (images of the same locations repeated and yet the lighting/time causes the images to be different) or space (images taken in the same general area but ranging in movement of the camera or finding repetatitve shapes but not exactly the same. as a whole the images make for an interesting look at how other people use repetition in there images and make use of grids to adds a different twist to the images, and its effect on the audience.
