A friend of mine sent me a bunch of interesting photos by photographer Jean Yves Lemuan. Some of them are really quite interesting. The group of photos that stood out to me consists of these:
Graffiti
Molotov Cocktail
Nazi Salute
Ignoring Poverty
The whole point of the series it seems to me is a visualization of the blackness that drives people to do things such as graffiti or giving the Nazi-salute. The one that really stood out in the series for me though was this one:
Praying
The photographer here is portraying that the same blackness the drives people to give the Nazi salute or to throw a Molotov cocktail or to spray paint graffiti or to ignore poverty, drives people to pray and to religion in general. I really like Jean Yves Lemuan’s portrayal of that concept.
You can find other photos from him here.
