The photographer and digital artist Filip Dujardin has created a series of surreal photo manipulations of aging, brutalist architecture that is sure to leave many viewers perplexed.
Dujardin used digital editing techniques to turn standard architectural photography into strange, alien-looking buildings that don’t seem physically possible.The photographer, who studied history of art (specializing in architecture) at the University of Ghent, worked with a set of photos of real buildings in and around Ghent and Belgium, to create a mind-dazzling collection of images called “Fictions“.
Some of the images in the collection take form of a crumpled piece of paper while others look completely out of place. Random building parts are jutted into uncommon places leaving these architectural superstructures with no pattern or formality.The work is meant to express the intricacy of architecture while pushing the limits of reality well beyond the immediate visual effect.
