Subscribe to Instagram: Collager Doug Abraham
Life without social networks in 2014 - something from the field of bold experiments, for which few are ready. You can use microblogging in order to be aware of the smallest details of the lives of your friends, or you can view the whole world through them. To help with the second, we will regularly talk about the authors of the most beautiful instagram accounts, witty twitter and socially useful Facebook. In general, people whose accounts are able to inspire us to feats or throw a couple of ideas on how to diversify our own lives, and for which it makes sense to subscribe right now.
This week we recommend, before it is too late, to add Doug Abraham, owner of Bess NYC New York store in Soho, to your Instagram tapes. His previous four Instagram accounts were removed for violating user rights, and the reason for this was his sarcastic "remakes" of advertising campaigns of fashion houses from Prada to Gucci. For photographs with models, he prifotoshoplivaet the heroes of pop culture and cyborgs, and also makes collages with frames from films, works of modern art and selfie. For example, Saint Laurent campaign Doug added Catherine Deneuve with scenes from Day Beauty with the muse of Yves Saint Laurent, and Prada ad with a selfie reminiscent of Kim Kardashian’s most outstanding body part.
Photoshop tricks of the blogger can be mistaken for vandalism or simply not the most elegant humor of the memes era, but in fact, with each collage it is traversed by consumer culture, glossy stereotypes and double standards of the fashion world. The most striking example is the absurd campaign of Tom Ford, a brand known for its sexist advertising. Prifotoshopiv seductively curved model pornactera, Abraham draws our attention to what a fine line separates the glamorous objectification from sex.
