Dressed for age
Most of us grow up with the idea that the clothes we wear should change with us. The feeling that people who dress “out of age” look pathetic and ridiculous is quite firmly embedded in our social code, although often we cannot even clearly articulate where it came from, and what it actually means to dress “for age”. Photographer Cue Qozop casts doubt on this societally imposed axiom in his Spring-Autumn series.

The Spring-Autumn series consists of seven pairs of photographs in which two members of a family, belonging to different generations, exchange clothes. The traditional costumes of parents and the fashionable outfits of their children are interchanged and, frankly, it is sometimes difficult to determine which things belonged to whom initially. But one thing is for sure: when a grandmother and granddaughter swap out their sari for a bandana, it's great!

Quosop's photographs captivate with their spontaneity and the same cheerful and slightly mocking attitude to life with which the biographical note on his website is written: “I can’t say anything special about myself. I'm just an artist who has contracted a disease that manifests itself in the production of pictures."
