# Figure Floatogrophy Jens Sage's Series 'Seats' is a Furnitureless Collection of Floating Figures By Olivia123 | Published 2011-05-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jens-sage-seats1 References: [thisiscolossal](http://thisiscolossal.com/2011/05/seats/) This photographic series is so [surreal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1), you might want to take a seat. Young Berlin-based artist Jens Sage has captured a compelling collection of [floating figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-series). This collection is both comical and fascinating, exposing the vulnerability of the human form. He seems to have photographed the figures while they were sitting on [various types of seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/himalaya-pelvis-chair), and proceeded to edit out the seats completely. This left the figures in the photographs suspended in air, floating in their different positions. All of the settings in the photographs seem to be urban ones. One of the men appears to be driving a car, and another one a bike. I think that through this series, Sage meant to make a statement about our dependancy on technology and structure. Whatever his message, Jens Sage's 'Seats' is definitely a photographic series to fall for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 70% | 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's Driving This Trend - **Photographic-imaging:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating surreal and captivating photographic series through editing techniques. - **Urban-dependancy:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in exploring the impact of technology and structure on human vulnerability in an urban setting. - **Floating-figures:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in capturing and highlighting the beauty and intrigue of suspended figures in mid-air. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art-photography:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in producing unique and thought-provoking photographic series that challenge traditional norms. - **Technology-design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating technological solutions that address and reduce dependency in urban environments. - **Interior-design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in reimagining furniture and seating concepts to create visually stunning and unconventional spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating Component Dining Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-top-chair.md) - [Sculptural Gravity Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-bench.md) - [Playful Public Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-public-seating.md) - [Balloon-Like Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seungjin-yang.md) - [Sculptural Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archetypes.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Dual Sculpture Seating Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immaterial-0001.md) - [Artfully Balanced Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfway-serious.md) - [Suspenseful Statement Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgeofyr.md)
