Scapes from in-between

The "in-between" state refers to phases when there is neither full consciousness nor deep sleep. There has been a long-lasting questioning over the brain functions in altered levels of consciousness. Are there conscious functions in "in-between" states? Or, plainly, where does consciousness state hibernate during anesthesia? Attempting to edit heterogeneous images mandates to look at them in a divergent path from shooting photography. And although the editor (being a photographer at the same time) is fully conscious, he or she implements decisions in contradiction to the “conscious” state of photographing. The image becomes a "new image"; a mind state. And all images metamorphose into naked perceptions without any political context, reflecting their common birthplace; their homogeneity. It's not absurd to think that editing embraces the "in-between" phase. But where was this “new image” hibernating before?
