Research photographers 4th plinth Cedric Delsaux

Cedric Delsaux was born in 1974 and for 10 years he traveled the boarder increasingly fine line between fiction and reality. We can see this from his work. Especially the shown in this post of a building and darth-vader editing in. May of the photos I came across consisted on a supernatural editing. Many showing a theme of star wars. Even with cloone troopers or darth-vader. Delsaux work is very intresting and intriguing- these photos were taken in Paris, an almost capture events of star wars in real life, revealing how our perception of the city goes through the filter of fiction. This series was called "The dark lens"- wuite catchy i suppose seeing as it's "The dark lord"... It almost blurs reality with fiction- what's real and what's not? I've came across a variety of his work, even though I am not a fan of star wars or supernatural things, for some reason his work appeals to me. Especially the foggy one with a shadow. I like this one because it could simply be a building or a group of trees, although it's connotation due to the angle could be a monster towering over these roads. Or the question of is this object actually there? Or was it just edited?
I like this image of his work because at first glimpse it looks like a simple forest road on a snowy day. Although looking closer you can see an object which is out of place and shouldn't normally be there.
