two time periods, artistic genres, stylistic approaches and mediums meet in the series of visual mashups by italian architecture student davide trabucco. sliced in half diagonally, two images ranging from contemporary photographs to historic paintings are juxtaposed side-by-side, seamlessly integrating into one another. similar in technique to the combophotos featured by designboom earlier this week, trabucco’s series of ‘confórmi’ are instead focused primary on artistic and architectural content. for example, a photograph of mies van der rohe standing at a table is merged with manet’s 1881 painting of ‘a bar at the folies-bergères’; marina abramovic, in her 2010 performance at MOMA, looks at 
julian wasse’s ‘duchamp playing chess with a nude’ at the pasadena art museum in 1963; finally, for fun, darth vader’s light saber matches up with dan flavin’s untitled (to virginia dwan) from 1971.
