hugo livet's latest photography series depicts cityscapes with floating trees

paris-based visual artist hugo livet ventured to create a world where trees have no branches and grow out of thin air. from the artist that sculpted geometric icebergs, livet presents his latest photography series, ‘fireworks’. in it, he digitally removes the trunk and branches from trees that stand tall among urban spaces to create seemingly exploding nature.

the photographer exclaims, ‘only the explosive power of leaves remains, like fireworks in broad daylight’. the edited images seem surreal yet possible, depicting a city with floating, scattered leaves. the result is a collection that through only subtracting an essential part of an ordinary object, viewers imagine a completely new landscape.
