When Classic Sculptures Meet Today’s World

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 10:21 AM PDT

French photographer Léo Caillard teamed up with French art director Alexis Persani to dress ancient Louvre's sculptures into something more trendy and up-to-date.

To create 'Street Stone', Caillard first photographed the statues and his friends in similar poses. Then Persani stacked the shots on top of each other in Photoshop, erasing everything but the clothes from the top layer.

By contrasting modern and classical culture, the creative duo wanted to show that society has undergone a big change and continues changing. The results are hilarious! It also shows that clothes have an enormous impact on the way one is perceived.
