New Synchronized Photographs of Swimmers by Maria Svarbova

August 14, 2018

New photographs from Slovakian artist Maria Svarbova (previously) continue her exploration of strangely melancholy poolside scenes. Coolly detached young swimmers in matching outfits are frozen in synchronized positions, a surprising diversion from the usual youthful exuberance of kids in pools. A statement on her website describes Svarbova’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.” You can see more of her work, including non-aquatic subjects, on Instagram.
