Thanks to its captivating story and stunning visuals, Christopher Nolan’s hit movie Inception continues to be an inspiration for many filmmakers and artists. One of them is Indonesian artist Jati Putra Pratama.
Pratma creates mind-bending landscapes that defy the laws of physics. In his works, a lush green forest expands vertically, the sea is split in the middle, and urban architecture is distorted in “wavy” shapes. The attention to details is remarkable and if we didn’t know better, we would think that these landscapes really exist somewhere.
While editing detailed and complex works requires a lot of work, this isn’t the hardest part of the process for Pratma. Instead, it is finding the right photos for his idea. Once he manages to do that, the rest of the process is quite easy for him.
According to Pratma, he started creating his surreal landscapes in 2015, with Inception being his primary inspiration. The movie features a number of scenes in which real-world architecture and physics get twisted. The interesting thing is that Pratma’s own works have inspired others as well. One mobile app developer actually made an app that creates surreal images in a similar style after seeing landscapes made by Pratma.
