‘vertebrata’ by paris-based photographer marc da cunha lopes is a series of images depicting skeletons of questionable origins in a variety of domestic and human settings. arranged to carry a solemn and often pensive look, the bones are shown as the sole subject of a seemingly abandoned world. careful use of light and colour palette lends the tableaus an unexpected sense of drama and character. at once imaginative and delightfully weird, the collection of photographs breaths life and emotion into the inanimate creatures, giving them a narrative that dabbles with the notions of loss and emptiness.
