Soul-Sucking Photos Show How Phone Addiction Is Stealing Our Souls

by Paulina Tikunova

French photographer Antoine Geiger creates photos of people having their faces sucked into their cellphones. The project, titled SUR-FAKE, touches on issues of technology dependance and addiction: “It is placing the screen as an object of ‘mass subculture’, alienating the relation to our own body, and more generally to the physical world.”

“Nothing was staged. I went out and captured reality,” Antoine told Bored Panda.

Antoine Geiger is a 20-year-old photographer who’s lived in England, France and the Netherlands. Over the last two years, he’s had four exhibitions, and been mentioned or published in print ten times.

UPDATE: Geiger’s work is very similar to that of Max Cavallari, another artist concerned with the influence of technology on our daily lives.
