Léo Caillard is a photographer whose digital manipulations call into question the
perception of reality. Caillarrd gives viewers a chance to reflect on the
contemporary world by contrasting with the surreal or ancient. A graduate of
the École des Gobelins in 2008, Caillard started hid career assistanting to
some of the biggest photographers in France and abroad.
The series Hipster
in Stone portrays classical statues from
Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome and dons in a
hipster wardrobe. Simple changes and additions of clothing transform each
figure’s timeless grace into cool aloofness.
In this series Caillard and Alex Persani (whom he
collaborated with for this project) seem to draw similarities between the ancient
figures depicted and modern perceptions of beauty in the twenty first
century.
Just out of curiosity, who's the statue of the third and fourth pictures of this blog of?
