Reality is not a game…
The broken princess and the unstoppable paparazzo. The exhausted child laborer and the parasitic foreman. Two figures. Standing side by side. They don’t do anything, there is no contact. Yet the tension is palpable. As the images start to make sense, as the often-tragic events that inspired the dual-portraits start to reveal themselves, the stories of the characters come alive and become apparent.
'The images of the series are layered macro photographs. The concept of the project is based on counterpoints. It uses toys to reference serious stories, circumventing circumstances that could alienate the viewer. The violence that is portrayed in media makes human drama seem common and trivial, but a new approach might reestablish an inquisitive and empathetic state of mind.' – Voros revealed about the project.
