(Final shots where the relationship between the doll and the human, throughout everyday activities, confuses the viewer as the doll is doing human-like activities.)
Discombobulate Me took some time figuring out the perspective foreshortening in order for image to look as though the doll is holding a human.
Perspective foreshortening allows the doll to look larger and so the human looks more vulnerable in the image.
One of the issues was trying to give the illusion that the doll's hand was holding the fork. I had to hold the fork, but the photographer placed the hand in front, to hide my hand. The trick was giving the impression that the doll's hand was of a similar size to mine, that is achieved through distance. Furthermore it is was a task to disguise the doll's hand so that it looked like a human hand. To get away with this we thought of blurring that area where the doll's hand is to create an ambiguity.
