Impossible Photography: Surreal Pictures That Challenge Our Perception

Agata Toromanoff

This collection of remarkable pictures from photographers around the globe will tease your eyes and challenge your perception of things by crossing the boundaries of rationality and reality. Striking compositions, often humorous, dreamlike, or ironic, offer truly stunning visions one would never expect. As much as these images intrigue the senses, they also challenge the mind. By provoking rational conventions and meanings, their works question our vision of reality and attitude towards photography as a media capturing the true instant, which initiate a captivating dialogue with viewers. Manipulated pictures create a surreal, psychedelic world that mixes dreams, uto-pia, advertising tricks and irony. Impossible photography invites us to look with a fresh, and critical eye at what photographs tell us. AUTHOR: Art historian Agata Toromanoff has written several books on design. After running a contemporary home gallery and participating in the launch of a fashion brand, she founded and has run a book packaging agency, Fancy Books. She also curates photography shows across Europe. SELLING POINTS: . A brain challenging collection of playful photos . Photographers who challenge the reality and our perception .
