double-exposure
Two images merged
Double-exposure is a photographic technique where two images are superimposed on the same frame, creating a ghostly layered effect.
Originally achieved by exposing film twice before advancing, it's now commonly replicated digitally.
The term extends to any deliberate visual layering: The album cover featured a double-exposure of her face and a forest.
Figuratively, it can describe seeing two realities simultaneously.
