They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well three of the words Taiyo Onorato and Nico Kreps picture will cause you to say are WTF! The [photography duo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1) cut and paste some of the [strangest images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) into some of the strangest back drops ever.

As weird and as creepy as some of the images are, the work is still without a doubt original, entertaining and very fun to look at. The only method to their madness seems to be madness itself.
