What awaits us when the end of the world comes, is there life after death and where does childhood go - just a few questions, the answers to which are not and cannot be. But man is a curious creature, he wants to know everything, and even a little more. Therefore, the artist Pablo Genoves (Pablo Genoves) figured out how to answer the question about post-apocalypse, creating a series of collages called Precipitates … At the end of the world, as the artist suggested, there will be only a few zones of relative stability in the world. And among them - temples, museums, galleries, houses of worship and other important historical monuments for mankind. Therefore, floods and typhoons, if they do not bypass them, will not cause as much harm as poachers, environmental polluters and those who turned their backs on God. No sooner said than done, and now a series of collages Precipitates is ready, where Pablo Genoves just demonstrates the results of his creative activity.
As a source, the author used old photographs, reproductions, which depict chic, exquisite interiors of theaters, museums and churches. And God alone knows what these buildings had to endure when a large-scale catastrophe happened: whether an explosion thundered, whether water began to arrive, whether a hurricane squealed over the roof … Of course, all the work was done with the help of Photoshop, but an attentive reader will notice how hard it should have worked on each of the works, so that the author's results are worthy of the best praise - and participate in the new original exhibition.
You can see the entire series of collages dedicated to post-apocalyptic times on the Pablo Genoves website.
