# Surreal Performative Sculptures Love Child by Trisha Holt Cross-Breeds Photos and Models By Meghan Young | Published 2013-04-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-child-by-trisha-holt References: [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2013/04/04/performative-sculpture-and-photography-mash-ups/) & [trishaholt](http://www.trishaholt.com/project/lovechild/) Love Child by Trisha Holt, a visual artist and recent graduate based in Detroit, Michigan, is a series of photographs that revolve around surreal performative sculptures. Each one involves models that has been wrapped in blown-up photographs of another person. Captured in everyday settings, Beautiful Decay writes, that it "creatively cross-breeds two iconic & artistic souls with one another." For instance, the images depict the imagined offspring of such pairings as Jock Sturges + Laurel Nakadate, Man Ray + Francesca Woodman and Guy Bourdin + Katy Grannan. Echoing the similarly titled song by The Supremes, Love Child by Trisha Holt is full of raw emotions, strange situations and playful scenarios. Whether floating in a lake, crouching on a bed or standing in a forest, the shots will capture people's attention instantly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Surreal Performative Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists to explore unconventional forms of art and create interesting experiences for viewers. - **Cross-breeding Artistic Souls:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the printing industry to explore new applications of photo printing. - **Playful Scenarios in Everyday Settings:** Opportunity for creatives to push boundaries and combine unexpected elements in visual storytelling. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Visual Arts:** The visual arts industry can explore the potential of using unconventional materials and combinations to create new forms of art. - **Printing Industry:** Printing companies can explore innovative methods of photo printing for unconventional applications. - **Storytelling Industry:** The storytelling industry can explore the potential of combining unexpected elements to create new and engaging experiences for viewers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Whimsical Childlike Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eternal-child.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Sea-Inspired Mini Sculpture Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures.md) - [Starry-Eyed Dichroic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starryeyed-dichroic-sculpture.md) - [Love-Inspired Miniature Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-in-a-bottle.md) - [Kid-Designed Sculptural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galerie-philia.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md)
