Video: Spring-Autumn by Cue Qozop or why clothes are overrated by age

Most of us grow up with the idea that the clothes we wear should change with us. The feeling that people who dress “out of age” look pathetic and ridiculous has become a part of our social code, although often we cannot even clearly articulate where it came from and what it actually means to dress “according to age”. Photographer Cue Qozop in the "Spring - Autumn" series challenges this socially imposed axiom.
“Apart from wrinkles, fashion is one of the most accurate indicators of a person's age and generation,” writes the photographer. - Old people a priori do not wear skinny jeans. But! Just imagine a world where people of a certain age don't have to dress in a certain way."
Despite the fact that modern Asia is very rapidly Europeanizing, the older generation still prefers to dress in traditional costumes. But young people in pursuit of fashion are often head and shoulders ahead of their Western peers.
The Spring-Autumn series consists of seven pairs of photographs in which two family members, from different generations, exchange clothes. The traditional costumes of parents and the fashionable outfits of their children are reversed and, frankly, it is sometimes difficult to determine which items originally belonged to whom. But one thing's for sure: When grandma and granddaughter change their sarees for a bandana, it's great!
Kvozop's photos captivate with their spontaneity and the same cheerful and slightly mocking attitude to life, with which the biographical note on his website is written:
“Nothing special, I can't say about myself. I am just an artist who contracted a disease, the symptoms of which are manifested in the production of pictures."
Well what can I say? Probably, if this disease were transmitted by airborne droplets along with the appropriate skills, humanity would only benefit from this.
Another destroyer of age-related stereotypes is Yoni Lefévre, a design student from the Netherlands, with a series of photographs based on children's drawings.

Imperfect hero Andrei Krasko: Why did the actor sew clothes and became famous only after 40
15 years ago, on July 4, 2006, a month before his 49th birthday, the life of the famous actor, the favorite of millions of viewers, Andrei Krasko, was cut short. Only in the last 10 years of his life he was in demand in the profession, and before that for a long time he could not prove his creative solvency even to his own father, actor Ivan Krasko. Neither in the frame nor behind the scenes did he strive to look better than he really is, did not hide his bad habits, did not try to please anyone. Perhaps that is why the audience adored him
The riddle of the Cossack from Repin's painting about the Cossacks: Why did the artist depict him without clothes
“The Cossacks write a letter to the Turkish Sultan” is a monumental work and truly a masterpiece of the Russian artist Ilya Repin. The picture can be considered as a historical document: it reflects the story that the Zaporozhye Cossacks wrote a response to the demand of the Turkish Sultan to obey him. And, I must say, in their expressions they were not modest (the faces and laughter of the heroes prove this). An interesting detail: one hero of the picture is depicted without clothes
They are greeted by clothes, seen off by clothes. Colorful sculpture installations
Once we wrote about how skillfully creative people are able to use available materials to create their imperishable works. For example, using clothes, because not a single person living in modern society can do without it, which means that every second wardrobe is full of things to the eyeballs. So, the artist Thomas Voorn creates graffiti from clothes, and the Cuban creators Alain Guerra and Neraldo de la Paz's - colorful sculptural installations
