The [photographs depict](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) [surreal scenes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) that will leave many people scratching their heads. In one frame, two women are seen with their backs facing the viewer. They are connected by a mutual coif that arcs between them like a roman doorway. Similarly, another photograph portrays a pair of crutches laying against a wall, slightly to their right is a leg brace filled with floor-tiles. In many ways, the series is reminiscent of a Magritte painting. Like the great surrealist, Kisilevich arranges familiar everyday objects and materials in such a way that they become unfamiliar and even jarring. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Surreal Photography:** Exploring surreal photography offers opportunities to disrupt traditional notions of reality and open up new artistic expressions. - **Unconventional Compositions:** Experimenting with unconventional compositions in photography can disrupt visual storytelling and challenge viewers' perceptions. - **Reinterpreted Everyday Objects:** Reinterpreting everyday objects through photography presents opportunities to create disruptive narratives and generate fresh perspectives on the familiar. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Photography:** The art and photography industry can benefit from embracing surrealism as a disruptive approach, attracting new audiences and pushing creative boundaries. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Incorporating surreal photography and unconventional compositions in advertising and marketing campaigns can grab attention, evoke emotions, and differentiate brands from competitors. - **Visual Media Production:** In the visual media production industry, exploring reinterpreted everyday objects through photography can inject innovation into film, television, and digital content, captivating audiences with fresh narratives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Warped Georgian Townhouse Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-week-at-the-knees.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Tea Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md)
