Video: Don't Trust Your Eyes: Cynthia Greig Concept Photo Series

According to photographer Cynthia Greig, our whole life is a continuous chain of illusions. We believe in what has nothing to do with reality, and what really exists is considered fiction. The girl even released a series of photographs confirming this fact. On them, real still lifes look like painted ones. And only a small detail indicates that the products in the picture are real.
Cynthia Greig expertly manipulates photographs to give them the effect of a painted picture. But this does not make the images less colorful. Vice versa. Pictures of this kind cause a sensation not only among art connoisseurs, but among people far from the world of photography. Outwardly, the collection looks like a sloppy sketch drawn in charcoal on a white background. In fact, it is a complete composition, sometimes consisting of a stack of books, sometimes from a toaster with slices of well-toasted bread, sometimes from a pile of dishes piled up in one heap.
With her work, Cynthia Greig encourages people to be more attentive. Sometimes the world is not as simple as it seems. And, on the contrary, a deep inner meaning can be hidden behind the apparent simplicity. As, for example, in the Cynthia Ray art project “Appetizing but inedible cooking”, where the author crocheted the most popular products, as if hinting that a real hamburger has just as much benefit as a skein of thread.
