Well, we see or come across many accidents day-by-day in and around us. But dont worry, this blog is not about accidents or stuffs like that. Hope you'll all enjoy this.
I am much happy and delighted with the response I gained after posting my previous blog post "Most Hated Teenager". Once again, I'm taking up a story from Instagram itself. I came across a profile IN EXTREMIS (bodies with no regret) - a photographic project by Sandro Giordano.
The Photographer has a darkly hilarious series on Instagram featuring people posed as if they have just fallen. And its truly hard not to believe that these postures are real.
Meticulously-staged and styled, he captures his subjects in awkward and uncomfortable-looking positions while surrounded by their belongings, always with an object in hand.
Giordoan states that he found out a peculiarism that people tend to place their material possessions before their own safety. He was inspired to start it after a bicycle accident where he lost 30% of the function in his right hand, because he didn’t let go of the object he was holding as he fell. While looking back, we can also summarize to the fact that even when we are met with an accident, we tend to protect our material possessions at-first.
Giordoan only shoots professional actors as they are able to twist and contort their bodies into anatomically impossible positions without injuring themselves. Its fabulous to watch his 'real-dramatic' works. Have a look: IN EXTREMIS
