# Body-Severing Photography No Strings Attached Collection is a Journey in Pieces By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-08-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-strings-attached References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/No-Strings-Attached/285949) & [arsthanea](http://www.arsthanea.com/) The No Strings Attached collection is a solo picture backed by the journey of its creation. The picture is a completely [photoshopped image](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arnardo-collection) of a guy whose body is being severed in many different piece by [thick wires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-collection). The process shows the different stages of wire placement as well as the change of his body throughout each photo. The final result is rather [creepy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) but admiring the skill of the job throughout the process makes this worthwhile project. I admire the difficulty of the ‘No Strings Attached’ collection and can bear the conceptual finished picture. I’m more glad that there is no blood! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 6% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Photoshopped Reality:** Opportunity for technology to create new and impossible realities in art and media. - **Disintegration Aesthetic:** The rise of art and design with disintegrating or fragmenting elements. - **Visual Storytelling:** Using visuals to convey a narrative or journey in art and photography. ### Where This Applies - **Advertising:** Opportunity for advertisers to use photoshopped reality to create surreal and memorable campaigns. - **Fine Art:** Opportunity for fine artists to explore the disintegration aesthetic and use it to create visually compelling works. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers to incorporate the disintegration aesthetic into their designs and runway shows for a unique and edgy look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Material Tensions Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/between-the-lightness-and-the-darkness.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md)
