pixellated.

johan rosenmunthe takes images of people he knows, pixellates them and places them in various settings, creating these unusual and quite fascinating photographs. why? well – i’m not quite sure. i read some interviews and what i took away was that it’s an exploration/deliberation on how we live in an overly-digitized world. and how we are neither here nor there. something about the unreliability of our physicality?! i might be making stuff up now. but the thesis is something along these lines. here’s an extract from rosenmunthe’s statement about the project:

In ’Off’ the persons are only visible through a digital representation, while the surroundings are as analog as possible. These pixelated persons are isolated from the rest of the world and often find themselves in foggy, strange milieus.
