Working in the style of Nicholas Kennedy Sitton (Method Experiment)

I found Sitton's style of taking a building and then transforming it into a still-motion picture of a building collapsing interestingly breath-taking. I observed the collection of his work, to find out the method or a similar one to producing these pieces. I came to the decision of beginning with Photoshop to create a flat photograph.

This is the beginning image, taken in for the presence of structures on either side and in the centre. 

I began the exploration of finding the method of the artist with measuring a circle out. I then positioned it around the centre. 

I then selected the area inside the measurements and held down "ctrl" and "J". This copied the photograph present within this circle creating a new layer as shown. (in the bar on the right)  














The copy removed the photo surrounding the circle. I then decided to use this layer to produce another layer that was 15cm smaller. I intended on creating circles that decreased in a pattern, similar to the artist's pieces. 

As shown in this screenshot, I began to rotate the individual layers from the middle outwards to produce the final image. The rotational angle decreased outwards. 















The final image consisted of 5 individual layers, each with a different rotational angle, creating the illusion that it's collapsing in on itself.
