Blending The Past With The Present In Celebrity Photos

In the fashion world, styles and iconic aesthetics are reincarnated at a rate of what seems to be every other season. The same can be said–at least in Marc Gahli’s work–about various human icons. Convening the past with the present, Gahli seeks to “draw on parallels between influential figures and present them in an interpretive way”. Making some certainly provocative choices (Barack Obama’s face blending with emblazoned black-rights leader Malcolm X is sure to turn some heads), Gahli reminds us that certain personality types, leadership skills and talents will always have a home in the human canon, or at least a fluid and not-so distant predecessor.

For most, the office is a place where dreams go to die. Where the humdrum replaces happiness, and the buzzing and flickering of fluorescent lights shows more animation than you do.

For example, in a Thoreau-ean attempt to bring mankind back to nature, architects have devised an office space in Madrid where the only thing separating employees from the serenity of nature is a two-centimeter thick curved, plexiglass wall. Or you could find yourself at a telecommunications company in Bangkok, where football pitches, ampitheaters and performance spaces highlight their “play and learn” ethos so much that you might wonder how in the world you will ever get any work done.
