‘Improbilita’ or ‘Improbability’ are a series of surreal designs by Italian artist Colarusso Giuseppe that will bend your mind and have you doing more than a few double takes.
In the Improbability series “objects cross the boundaries of reality” and everyday items take on perplexing and surreal qualities. With a few alterations here and there of everyday objects Giuseppe creates destabilizing feelings in the viewers psyche. Unsure why, you know these photos are wrong and unnatural, forcing you to look deeper in order figure out why.
The bizarre factors of some of these surreal designs are apparent from the beginning like the monocle sunglasses or the conjoined keys. Others, like the compass that draws square or the sink without a drain, are much more subtle.
