Life repeats art: an Austrian takes photos of museum visitors who "coincided" with the paintings
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/life-repeats-art-an-austrian-takes-photos-of-museum-visitors-who-coincided-with-the-paintings.htmlViennese photographer Stefan Draschan has been shooting visitors to European museums for two years against the background of" suitable " paintings — when a person's clothes or hairstyle are combined with a work of art in color, saturation or ornament. For the sake of a successful shot, a photographer can disappear in museums for hours.
Judging by Drashan's website, he generally likes to notice visual pairs around: he blogs about identically dressed couples, about three people against the background of paintings, about cars against the background of similar houses, as well as about people who sleep in museums.
