Lauren Marsolier's body of work entitled Transition part 3. Transition refers to being in a place we know but can’t quite identify” and then as having a gestalt change, that is, a shift in how the world is seen.

The images of the built environment represent a place of disconnection and loneliness. They are constructed from real photographs that are then digitally altered and combined to create a new landscape. Is this replicated fragments of the world blended together an example of digital photography coming into its own?

Would this kind of work be an example of what Joerg Colberg is calling for a digital photography that can do things that analog photography cannot do. Or is it still an example of manipulating images on the computer, which is is not new, since photographers have manipulated photographs in the darkroom for hundreds of years.

Some of the images appears as dreamscapes ---the photographic equivalent a century later of De Chirico's Metaphysical painting.
