Gym, but for my Surrealist Mind.

The work ‘Real Big Ducks’ is a work made by Geoffrey Huang as a creative exercise to keep his mind inspired to make surrealist photomontages, think of it as a method like how many artists use drawing as an exercise to refine their skill. This work is again full of symbolism and it places an inanimate object (rubber ducks) in an unconventional manner.

Compositionally and to talk formal technicalities, this image is constructed from scratch from separate 35mm analogue photographs to a create new photo. Essentially, the work is a deliberately constructed landscape (or in this case a seascape) in the photographic form to give it the illusion that this location is real rather than it looking like on location shot.
Using a Surrealist way of working this piece explores the themes of imagination, the act of dreaming and how the imagination inspires creation. Huang also researched on the duck and what it meant as a totem and he uses this animal as a symbolic metaphor to describe his art style through the photomedia medium . as Through the subject matter and the use of the imagination, Huang uses a playful, silly and funny way to make art to reveal to the viewer his creative process when practicing the photomedia medium.
