Impossible Dialogues: Claudia Storelli's Viral Art History Mashups

Italian architect Claudia Storelli, born in 1994 and based in Rotterdam, has created a viral digital project called 'Impossible dialogues' that uses image manipulation to fuse artworks from different eras and artists, such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti with Vermeer, Klimt with Botticelli, and Van Gogh with Titian. The project, which started on Instagram, has been shared by thousands of users and magazines worldwide. In one example, 'Woman I', Botticelli's Venus is combined with tigers from Dalí's 'Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening', symbolizing contemporary dangers like a girl walking home at night. Storelli also plays with captions to offer reflections on modern society.
