The series offers a fun Kodak moment, as passers-by can quickly snap a photo to make it look as though they are inside the frame. Of course, your perspective of the frame changes according to where you’re standing – another reason why this project is so interesting. The project is also apart of a greater campaign for the [National Dramatic Center of St. Etienne](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-air), aiming to reinvigorate lost or “forgotten parts of the city.” The finished photos – taken with a slew of Etienne volunteers – are romantic, charming and breathe new life into run-down spaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Anamorphic Picture Frames:** Opportunity for artists and photographers to explore anamorphic techniques in a creative and engaging way. - **Urban Revitalization:** Potential for urban planners and developers to use art and creative installations to transform neglected areas of cities. - **Interactive Photography:** Openings for innovation in creating interactive photo experiences that allow people to become part of the artwork. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Photography:** Artists and photographers can incorporate anamorphic techniques and interactive elements into their work. - **Urban Planning and Development:** Urban planners and developers can utilize art installations to revitalize neglected urban areas. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Hotels, tourist attractions, and event organizers can incorporate interactive photography experiences to attract visitors and enhance guest experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Distorted Furniture Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-kiss-at-last-light.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Revived Modular Photo Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frames-booth.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Voice-Activated Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Vibrant City Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2.md) - [Immersive Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-public-art-installation.md)
