With the development of digital technology, it becomes more difficult to believe in the authenticity of certain images. Two photographers from Switzerland have fully confirmed this. They recreated iconic snapshots of the past using only miniature models with the required scenes.
Advertising photographers Jojakim Cortis and Adrian sonderegger implemented a very interesting project called "Iconen" … It all started with a simple joke. Temporarily without orders, they decided to reproduce in miniature the world's most expensive photograph of Andreas Gursky "Rhein II", which sold for $ 4, 3 million. The photographers made a mock-up depicting the landscape in the picture, filmed and digitally processed it. The result is an exact copy of "Rhein II".
The result of the recreated photo was so much liked by the photographers themselves and users of social networks that Jojakim and Adrian did not stop there. In less than three years, the masters have reproduced 15 scenes from iconic photographs of global importance for humanity. Among them you can see the image of the Loch Ness Monster, the legendary cosmonaut footprint on the lunar surface, the last image of the Titanic on the water, the takeoff of the Concorde, the student protest events in Tiananmen Square.
To create the layouts, the photographers used the simplest materials: paper, cardboard, cotton balls, plastic. As the authors themselves say, working on the project gave them a lot of pleasure, because they felt like children.
Although some images can be recreated, there are some photographs that are absolutely impossible to repeat.
