Nina Maria Kleivan and his mini-dictators

Of anything doubts do not stay: this is an extremely polemic series of photos. His person in charge is the artist Danish - Norwegian Nina Maria Kleivan who under the title of “Potency“ has assembled these showy images. There talks each other of his own baby, Faustina Kleiva, dressed in famous dictators as Adolf Hitler, Benitto Mussolinni or Joseph Stalin.

His target is to show like all we are born with the potentiality to turn into individuals as harmful as these historical personages. For that it confirms the innocence of a child with the atrocity of a dictator. The artist tries to show like all we are born with the same opportunities to realize negative and incomprehensible actions.

The polemic came untied in all those countries where the series of photos was exhibited. Thanks to Internet also it expanded on a global scale. Anyway, her the first controversy took place at a more intimate level: the father of the girl went mad really when it found a bracelet with a swastika on his office. His mother confesses that for her also it was a painful experience.

It knows the small dictators next.

The advertizing photo of Tom Hussey

Constantly the photo puts itself at the disposal of the publicity. It is then when really creative results are achieved and of quality. Many people can renounce this type of photo and incline for works more removed from the market. Anyway sometimes he is worth while sharing some of his results. In this case I refer to a campaign of titled Novartis “Reflections“.

Novartis is a multinational company that devotes itself to the pharmaceutical industry and to the biotechnology. The following series of photos has been taken by artist Tom Hussey. In her there appear different individuals (most of them of an advanced age) looking in a mirror. In him they turn out to be reflected … but in his epochs of youth.
