Amanda Charchian and Claire Oring collaborate in this bone-chilling image series. It's sure to raise the hairs on one's neck with subjects raised from the dead.
Each photograph contains a single word that, when viewed in sequential order, reads a profound message. The message is: "I imagine yes is the only living thing." How the quote is interpreted is completely up to the viewer, but I'm sure the two artists have their own meaning behind it.
The vintage monochromatic look these images add to the gallery's dark and disturbing feel. Models without pupils sporting expressionless faces have them appearing to be possessed. Photo sequences that tie together in this fashion have had considerable viral success. Viewers love when photographs tell a story and this image series does that very well.
