French photographer William Farges has just provided you with a few beautiful nightmares. By cleverly pairing images together he’s made a series of a chimerical bodies that look like they’d be more at home in a painting of Dante’s Inferno. Alternatively, he’s created a sort of human CatDog.

Speaking about his work, he’s open about the images’ suggestive nature:

“I did this work on the suggestion. My goal was to inspire me photographic style nude, while trying to renew. I first decided to focus on off-field taking part, not as the end of the picture, but as the beginning of the spectator’s imagination. Then, the more I walked this path, the more I had the urge to go further and create unreal body, chimeras bringing us to a state of conscious animal, contradictory and tortured. While on a work being polysemic, everyone sees what he wants. However, my intention is not to cultivate individual fantasies, but a reflection on the relationship between body and mind. The strength of my work is I think in its suggestive appearance. Indeed, by combining two images taken at two different times and without artifice, without editing, the viewer unconsciously accepts it and sees my body perception.”
