Anthropological frescoes

 

The look mature and aware of the London based photographer Freya Najade seems to prefer the study of controversial issues of the contemporary social acting. Her works as modern frescoes depict in a pictorial perspective specific behaviors and deviant implications of post modern society. Anthropological aspects that trigger real short-circuits in the mind of the beholder as in the formidable series hereby presented.

«Elvis and my Family reflect on the ways, in which people decorate their workplaces and intertwine their private life with their public life by bringing pictures and objects from their homes. Furthermore I attempt with this project to preserve a fraction of the urban landscape, which will eventually disappear. Not just family owned but also small and medium-sized enterprises are vanishing due to different trends in times of globalization. Chain stores dominate mostly the urban environment, which don’t welcome a personal aesthetization of a place.»
