# Misplaced Head Captures Alexandre Bordereau Removed the Top Part to Add New Forms of Expressions By Ana Lopez | Published 2011-11-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexandre-bordereau References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/oh-my-head) & [are.y0u.in.free.fr](http://are.y0u.in.free.fr/) Facial expression and the head itself are essential parts of people's personalities, and to draw some attention to this matter, the French photographer Alexandre Bordereau chopped off the heads of his subjects and added an interesting twist. Bordereau is also known by his online pseudonym aRe-y0u-iN, and he has an extensive portfolio of creative projects related to photography and graphic design. The series titled Oh My Head! is his own experiment about the artificial creation of facial expressions without a head. He tells the site My Modern Met, "I try to show that it is possible to express an emotion without the expressions of a face. I often use sad feelings for my art, but also humor." The result is funny and entertaining as Bordereau used elements like painting, smoke, a Wanted poster and a rainy cloud to replace the top part of his subjects. Alexandre Bordereau is a self-taught artist who uses imagination and art to create a new world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Headless Photography:** The trend towards headless photography can provide opportunities for image editing software, digital art tools and new ways to experiment with human expressions. - **Expression Through Objects:** The trend towards expressing emotion through objects can create opportunities for product design, home decor, and creative advertising campaigns. - **Humorous Emotion:** A growing trend towards using humor to express emotion can offer opportunities for comedians, digital content creators, and marketing professionals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Headless photography can create opportunities for photographers, image editing software, and digital art tools. - **Product Design:** The trend towards expressing emotion through objects can create opportunities for product designers, home decor companies, and furniture manufacturers. - **Advertising & Marketing:** Humorous emotion as a trend can offer opportunities for advertising agencies, social media marketers, and digital content creators. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Explosion-Damaged Sculpture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Professional AI Headshots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headshotwork.md) - [Virtual Photo Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-headshot-generator.md)
