OK the above comment was lazy.So a response. These images are plain daft and bloody cynical. They are full of gimmick. all art SHOULD say something about the world and indeed say something about Art it self, and these FAIL on both counts. And I have to agree with you photoblog, this kind of photography is a silly and ill informed pastiche of issues that have been discussed within the visual arts for a century or more (Duchamp)and that perpetuates the myth of photography being a lesser art form. So Mr Ferrando perhaps you should put the paper bag over your own head and go sit in a corner and think for a bit. But hey, I bet you are making a good living selling this shit so I will "just wind my neck in" in deference to you............

Fuck I have to agree. It's just well produced bollox.....
