Between reality and fantasy
Photography has achieved a completely new kind of art through the technological revolution. The question of whether photos on the internet are real or just a Photoshop skill is often asked. It goes far beyond mere selfie culture. The images show people in extraordinary environments, questioning the laws of physics or even being seen in places they have never been. Richard Silvera’s “Sweet Escape” is an excellent example of this fascinating world of manipulation. You never know where the editing begins and where reality ends, because this visual beauty exudes a hypnotic aura.”
