People tend to think about the similarities with their parents, both external and, sometimes, internal. Every now and then we hear phrases like: "The poured father!" or "All in me!" From such reflections, it seems, was born a photo project of the German artist and designer Frauke Theilking called “Generation”.
The idea turned out to be quite close to people of art: photographers and artists have repeatedly turned to this topic. On Kulturologiya. Ru we wrote about an equally interesting photo project with the telling name “Boys And Their Fathers” by British photographer Craig Gibson, where the photographer, using a special program, created a “common” portrait of fathers and sons, overlaying images of each on a friend.
Frauke Tilking decided to do without tweaks: a simple gray background and a complete lack of unnecessary details. In order not to distract the viewer from the faces of the models, Tilking even asked the heroes of the photo shoot to bare their shoulders. People standing side by side and staring into the camera lens make a strong impression.
The idea is simple: to trace the similarities, see the differences, draw parallels, think about the transience of life and family ties, it is no coincidence that the project is called "Generation." "Child". Due to the unconditional similarity of the models, it seems as if they are the same person, captured at different stages of life.
