Cloned Cabaret Star Captures

This Strange Photo Series by Ruud Baan Focuses on a Cabaret Star

— May 31, 2013 — Tech
This peculiar photo series by Ruud Baan is centered around Dutch cabaret star Ruben Van Der Meer. Done entirely in whites and reds, this strange, but fun photography series contains some rather unusual content.

In some of these captures, the audience is exposed to multiple Ruben Van Der Meer figures. One of these odd-ball shots shows Van Der Meer cowering in the corner while another Van Der Meer bursts out from the wall, covered in white. Another of these funky shots shows a red track suit wearing Ruben embracing his white paint-covered clone. A particularly strange shot from this collection features the white covered Van Der Meer in a room filled with pictures of himself. This ghostly white man holds a bug-eyed capture out in front of this face.

This wacky photo series is a lot of fun to look at and leads me to believe that Ruben Van Der Meer has a very big personality.
