but not as you would expect to see them,
in the Olympic discipline,
are the theme of these slightly surreal photographs,
from from
Slovakian artist Mária Švarbová, who coolly
detaches young swimmers in matching outfits that are frozen in synchronised
positions,
a surprising diversion from the usual youthful exuberance of
kids in pools,
a statement on her website describes Švarbová’s unconventional work: “Maria’s postmodern vision boldly articulates a dialog that compels the viewer to respond to the mystery, loneliness, and isolation of the human experience.”
the photographer has published a book of this series, titled Swimming Pool,
and no I am not on commision, I just find the photographs so totally different to other pool pictures,
You can see more of her work, including non-aquatic subjects, on Instagram.
