Helmo's human-animal photo installation

Files Gimgs 10 Cormoran French design/photo duo Helmo (Thomas Couderc and Clement Vauchez) created a lovely window installation at the Galeries Lafayette department store in Paris. Titled "Bêtes de mode," the 2006 work consisted of thirteen human portraits superimposed with animal images that were revealed through the use of various gels.

This is cool. Makes more sense when you see it on video.

Reminds me of Stefan Sagmeisters work. The "Mountains of Madness" CD cover and the cover of his book "Made you Look" both use a similar effect.

There is an interview here:

The CD cover is at the bottom.
