# Gross Garbage Captures The 'Pourri' Series by Frederic Delangle is Artistically Disgusting By Ana Lopez | Published 2012-01-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frederic-delangle References: [junk-culture](http://www.junk-culture.com/2012/01/rotten.html) & [fredericdelangle](http://www.fredericdelangle.com/spip.php?article68) French photographer Frederic Delangle wants his audience to experience up-close a natural process that occurs every second in nature: decomposition. Entitled 'Pourri,' which means rotten in English, this photographic series studies the changes in food, animals and plants when they're decomposing. Although the thought of seeing rotten animals is not a nice one, the experience of admiring these photographs is both fascinating and repulsive. Full of intriguing abstract shapes and beautiful colors, this series gives decay and death a new artistic perspective. It's impressive to see how all these decomposed elements are combined together to create a [tapestry of texture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany) and unusual art. The best part about the series by Frederic Delangle is that audiences get to experience the process of decomposition without its [gross smell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borntostandout-fall-2024). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Decomposition Photography:** Explore the creative potential of capturing the process of decomposition through photography, creating intriguing abstract shapes and beautiful colors. - **Natural Decay Art:** Give decay and death a new artistic perspective by using decomposed elements to create a tapestry of texture and unusual art. - **Immersive Experiences:** Allow audiences to engage with the process of decomposition without the unpleasant smell, creating a unique and fascinating experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fine Art Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to explore the artistic potential of decomposition, creating unique and thought-provoking images. - **Art Galleries:** Exhibit and showcase artwork that explores the beauty found in decay and the natural process of decomposition. - **Museum Installations:** Develop interactive installations that allow visitors to engage with the concept of decomposition, creating immersive and educational experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Broken-Aesthetic Sculpture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brokenaesthetic-sculpture-collection.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Upcycled Object Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-and-daniel-arsham.md) - [Modern Design-Exploring Art Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratone-chair.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md)
