# Minimalist Origami-Like Photoshoots Pruitt Igoe by Dominik Tarabanski is Named After an Urban Site By Meghan Young | Published 2013-07-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pruitt-igoe-by-dominik-tarabanski References: [whitezine](http://www.whitezine.com/en/photography/dominik-tarabanski-pruitt-igoe.html) & [tarabanski](http://www.tarabanski.com/photography/pruitt-igoe/) Although the photo series titled Pruitt Igoe by Dominik Tarabanski, a photographer born in Poland, raised in Cracow and based in New York City, may look like it was inspired by the [art of origami](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saori-matsushita), the title suggests otherwise. In a brief explanation, the photographer reveals, "Pruitt Igoe was a [large urban housing project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sekyra-flowers) first occupied in 1954 in the U.S. city of St. Louis, Missouri," and became "internationally infamous for its poverty, crime and segregation" by the late 1960s. Interestingly, there is nothing of this struggle present in Pruitt Igoe by Dominik Tarabanski. An icon of renewal after it was torn down, perhaps the [minimalist nature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-cocoon) of the photoshoot suggests a sense of rebirth. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Photography:** Exploring the trend of minimalist photography, which focuses on simplicity and clean aesthetics. - **Origami-inspired Art:** Exploring the trend of incorporating origami-like elements into artwork and design, adding a unique and creative touch. - **Urban Renewal:** Exploring the trend of urban renewal, highlighting the transformation of once impoverished and neglected areas into thriving communities. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The photography industry can capitalize on the trend of minimalist photography by offering minimalist-themed photoshoots and services. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can embrace the trend of origami-inspired art by creating unique and innovative products and installations. - **Real Estate and Development:** The real estate and development industry can seize the trend of urban renewal by investing in revitalizing and transforming neglected neighborhoods, creating attractive and sustainable urban spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Ceramics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-series.md) - [Toy Brick-Inspired Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curving-block.md) - [Paper Curvature Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Skyline-Inspired Elegant Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obliqo.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Paper-Inspired Artful Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-for-papirkunst.md)
