Ingeniously Composed Mashups Of Classical Art and Architecture by Davide Trabucco

Italian architecture student Davide Trabucco has designed a series of cleverly made compositions which intersect two different images together in perfect synchronisation. The highlight of this series is that the complementing images he uses to make each picture are from two different time periods, made in separate mediums and artistic genres and approached differently in style by the original artist.

The visual mashup series shows a fascinating coincidence of notable art throughout time being sliced in half crosswise and line up perfectly with one another. Trabucco calls this style “‘confórmi” which exclusively focuses on architecture and artistic composition. They seamlessly meld together to create their own meaning. Marina Abramovic’s unforgettable 2010 performance at MOMA is taken and juxtaposed perfectly with Julian Wasse’s infamous ‘Duchamp Playing Chess with a Nude’ and the image puts together two powerful moments in history occurring in the same frame. Robert Venturi’s ‘learning from las vegas’ fused with Caspar David Friedrich’s ‘Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog’, creates a scene of contemplation and discovery at two very different locations and time period.

Davide Trabucco has depicted how even two contrasting images from art and architecture can come together to devise a new meaning. His series reveals that artistic minds think alike, if not with the same end goal then in the way and image should be framed. The interesting and peculiar symmetry within the spliced images become a tribute to the artists and architects of both contemporary and historical times.

The Kiss

“The Kiss was given to the MoMA as a donation without asking for permission. I entered the museum as a regular visitor and gave an intense French kiss to the wall. Next to the invisible kiss I then fixed a fake label, which simulated the style of a regular MoMA caption.”

Maybe some of these are worth looking into?
