# Little Humans as Caged Pets Amazing Photography by Julian Wolkenstein By mediterranean | Published 2008-07-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humans-pets-julian-wolkenstein References: [julianwolkenstein](http://www.julianwolkenstein.com/) Reversing the wheel and depicting humans as caged pets is not a new concept; however, the execution of this idea in these amazing photographs by Julian Wolkenstein is absolutely superb. The images depict [people as birds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwellings-project), [hamsters in cages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-animals) and a woman as a fish in a small fish tank. Julian Wolkenstein is an Australian, London-based photographer. I have also included images from another creative set by Wolkenstein showing people yawning. It's kind of captivating. **Implications** - Shocking and thought-provoking photography and advertising is a great way to garner critical and audience attention. Allowing consumers to think about what they are seeing and develop an opinion about a product is a great method to promote consumer interactivity. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Shocking Photography:** Using shocking and thought-provoking photography in advertising to promote consumer interaction. - **Reversing Roles:** Reversing traditional roles in visual media to capture audience attention and spark conversation. - **Creative Execution:** Innovative and creative execution of ideas in photography and visual media to stand out in the market. ### Where This Applies - **Advertising:** Using provocative and innovative visual media techniques to capture and hold the attention of audiences in advertising. - **Photography:** Exploring unconventional ideas and creative execution in photography to create unique and memorable content. - **Fine Arts:** Experimenting with role reversal and provocative themes to push boundaries and initiate critical conversation in the world of fine arts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Humorous Pet Furniture Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utsdd.md) - [Minimalist Pet-Inspired Decor Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-pets.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [Insect-Inspired Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-bronze-sculptures.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Playful Dynamic Furniture Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galliforms.md) - [Artful Elevated Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doggy-bathroom-1.md) - [Pet-Equality Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-ownership.md)
