# Apocalyptic Museum Photography Vitaliy and Elena Vasilieva Imagines Art Surviving the World's End By Meghan Young | Published 2014-08-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apocalyptic-museum-photography References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/3033760/what-museums-will-look-like-after-the-apocalypse) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/Apocalypse-in-Art/10116775) Although it is undeniable that many great artworks have been lost over the centuries, this apocalyptic museum photography series suggests that even with those losses, art has managed to prevail. Withstanding [natural disasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-perfect), conquering kings and more, art is a human relic that will most likely remain even after the world ends. Hence this particular [surreal series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1). Created by Ukranian artists Vitaliy and Elena Vasilieva, the apocalyptic museum photography series imagines the Guggenheim teetering upon the side of a cliff, the New Museum standing like a glowing lighthouse over dark seas and the Niterói Contemporary Art Museum as a crash landed alien saucer. Titled 'Apocalypse In Art,' they ask, "The spirit of apocalypses holds sway over modern culture and is slowly infecting everything around us. How will this virus affect art? Will there still be a place for an art in society?" ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 91% | 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) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Apocalyptic Art:** The trend of apocalyptic art explores the idea of art surviving catastrophic events and its impact on society. - **Museum Photography:** The trend of museum photography captures iconic museums in unique and surreal settings, raising questions about the future of art. - **Sustainable Creativity:** The trend of sustainable creativity focuses on the resilience of art and its ability to adapt and endure in a changing world. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Galleries and Museums:** The art galleries and museums industry can explore new ways to showcase and preserve art in apocalyptic scenarios. - **Photography and Imaging:** The photography and imaging industry can embrace the concept of surreal museum photography as a niche genre, creating innovative visual experiences. - **Art Education and Conservation:** The art education and conservation industry can explore the role of art in society and how it can shape cultural response to apocalyptic scenarios. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Post-Pandemic Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonami.md) - [Dramatic Doomsday Bunker Images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper.md) - [Explosion-Damaged Sculpture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-into-darkness.md) - [Destructive Nature Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keita-miyazaki.md) - [Cave-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cave-bureau.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Post-Pandemic Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakwena-maciver.md) - [Slaugherhouse-Transformed Unique Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anthropocene-museum.md)
