Video: Children's games from the duo Gneborg

Remember how in childhood we created our own reality and immersed ourselves in it for the duration of the game. The blue blanket turned into the sea, the fluffy cat turned into a tiger, and the chair turned into the cockpit of an intergalactic ship. Do you think that only children can have fun and fantasize like that? But no - the French duo Gneborg has grown up from childhood, but they still play such games.
The work of photographers from the Gneborg collective includes elements of installation, live sculpture and experimental photography. To do this, the authors take ordinary things that can be found in every home and create original stories with their help. Thanks to the inexhaustible imagination of photographers, sneakers become the head of an ostrich, several chairs - a camel or an elephant, winter gloves - elk horns.
Gneborg's photographs can be called simple and even somewhat primitive, but nevertheless they cope with their task perfectly: they evoke associations with childhood in every viewer, and such memories cannot be bad.
Gneborg is a creative union of two authors: Geoffrey Cottenceau and Romain Rousset. You can see more of their work on the website.
