What I love about Julien Pacaud’s work is his use of scale, textures and the surreal dream-like quality his work holds. I am a lover of vintage/retro styling, and so I was instantly captivated by his work. His images come from various areas of old-time movies and television. I feel like this gives the images the cinematic, photographic ambiance that draws in attention. Even though these images have an appealing aesthetic about them, I personally think they have some kind of denotation behind them all. Whether it be political, social or personal.
This image for instance reminds me of some sort of anxiety,
such as a personal fear or nightmare. The figures represent to emotion being
felt in this situation. On the other hand, it could be an expression of the
fish as it is titled ‘Aquarium’. I think the use of human figures is well done
in showing human emotion to express the feelings the fish have, being stuck in
a glass cage
