American artist Eli Craven cleverly folds these classic hollywood portraits in his series 'Screen Lovers' and mends two subjects into one. Craven uses found images from old vintage books and brings the characters together by literally folding the image and creating something new. The way that the Craven chooses to fold over the faces of the figures leaves a dimension of ambiguousness. You can't help but to think whats going on behind the fold. I also enjoy the newly formed shape that occurs naturally when folding and escapes the traditional rectangle photograph.
More beautiful folded photographs after the jump!
