Thanks to Katy for throwing me this and other links!
I really enjoyed this guys work, in particular the series "Kissing the Ceiling" (2008) The way in which the figures defy our usual spatial orientation for them by being raised up on something and within the frame is really interesting.
To say the least these images prompt a range of questions !? Why kiss the ceiling? How did you get up there (for the one on the door handle) I feel that the bizarre nature of the images is heightened by the way in which they are shot from approximately head-height (our normal view) but they show people doing something that is very abnormal haha. They float above our normal perception of where people should be. this is nicely offset in some of them by the figures who are where we would expect them. There is a comical nature to them as well...I enjoy the bizarre.
