Locals Disappear Into New York

This would have made a great Halloween costume. Fred Lebain has a new series of photographs that blend New Yorkers right into New York. Animal notes that "After shooting the scene, Lebain returned with a large-format print that he then photographed again using tripods and other ubiquitous poster-holding techniques." Perfect for a city where pretty much everyone is invisible.

The same thing could be accomplished with a single piece of paper and photoshop. Really, ... same result.

Nothing spectacular about it.

between the small low resolution photos and VERY poorly written text/description, i have NO IDEA what this artist is doing. none at all. zip. zero. nada. perhaps that's why there are no comments.
