2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-15 23:55
No matter how absurd it may sound, people nevertheless love to look at bones and skeletons, look at photographs from the places of car accidents and plane crashes, not to mention the fact that articles about all sorts of creepy things, like dissected corpses, exhibits from the Gunther Museum von Hagens, are always much more readable than publications about more "peaceful" works. Moreover, the majority considers all these "charms" with only one purpose - to express their "fairy" to the author of the project, and then share the link with a friend so that he too can see what a horror it is. I dare to hope that some kind of photo manipulation from the series Vertebrata from the designer Marc Da Cunha Lopes will cause you much more pleasant emotions. Marc De Cuna Lopez lives in Paris and has a long and successful career in several creative activities, combining advertising, digital photography, computer graphics and graphic design. For a long time and successfully, the designer has also combined several photographs into one illustration, superimposing one layer on top of another, adjusting certain of its parameters, cutting out, finishing drawing, changing it - in general, carrying out all kinds of manipulations with the picture, as a result of which something unusual, sometimes frightening and very surreal.
The new series of photo manipulations Vertebrata represents the skeletons of outlandish animals that live their lonely and depressing lives in their lonely and dull homes, wandering the deserted streets and floors, as if they have lost something and cannot find anything. And what exactly to find - the imagination of those who will consider the photographs will tell you. Perhaps cute animals are looking for their flesh, which once covered the bones. Or maybe creatures of their own kind, next to whom you can feel less flawed and not like everyone else …
Works from the Vertebrata series will be on display at the Rabouan-Moussion gallery in Paris. The exhibition will run from April 9 to May 7.

Landscapes from a different angle: photo manipulation by an American photographer
Looking at the photographs of the American photographer Laura Plageman, it can be assumed that she is not happy with the result of her work: Plageman himself crumples, twists and folds her freshly printed photographs, as if taking out the chagrin for the spoiled frames on them. However, such an assumption would be fundamentally wrong: Laura deliberately modifies the shape of the pictures in order to achieve a special visual effect

A dream come true: the veteran managed to build a copy of the Golden Gate Bridge, and then visit San Francisco

A former military man from Kansas managed to build on his site a copy of the famous Golden Gate Bridge, adding to his dream 90 tons of concrete, a lot of recyclable materials, as well as … 11 years of free time
