# Uncannily Animated Photography The Surrealistic Pillow Series by Ronen Goldman is Dreamlike By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2011-05-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surrealistic-pillow-by-ronen-goldman References: [fubiz.net](http://www.fubiz.net/2011/05/24/surrealistic-pillow/) & [ronengoldman](http://www.ronengoldman.com/) The Surrealistic Pillow series by Ronen Goldman gives life to the most inanimate objects. From groping trees to attacking apples, this collection gives human qualities to the most stock-still entities. The photography collection has an uncanny feel, as Ronen Goldman merges the mortal world with nature. A tree is no longer stoic and one with its green surroundings, but instead, it grows a hand that's just as frisky as any flesh-and-blood human. Other objects also gain life in Surrealistic Pillow by Ronen Goldman, such as [free-floating cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) and [inanimate benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roots-collection-1). Goldman does a great job at taking everyday objects and giving them qualities that are least expected.
