With Christto originally hailing from Puerto Rico and Andrew from South Africa, the pair began working together in 2012, an ‘organic’ partnership that has seen them produce a stream of hyperreal work that blends humour and portraiture in one. “Being in Doha inspires a lot of our work. The fact that not much is being done here provides us with material and a voice that is reflective of the current situation,” the duo tell us. “What fascinates us is how fast Doha changes on a daily basis, this really makes us question our perceptions of history, time and progress.” Channelling that curiosity into their work, Christto & Andrew explain, “There’s a great sense of optimism which is projected through means of construction and a strong focus on building the future: luxury, drivers, maids, expats, locals, romanticising of the gulf, and futuristic buildings are all aspects of living here that influence our work.” Christto & Andrew’s latest project “Glory of the Artifice” will be on display at Amsterdam’s Unseen Photo Fair, taking place between 18-20 September, 2015 From “Glory of the Artifice”Photography Christto & AndrewExpand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREThe photography platform taking you inside the world’s best ravesBarragán AW19ZimmermannKindred spirits and psychedelic florals: Zimmermann heads to 70s Sydney These photos are a refreshing look at the world through the eyes of womenJamie Hawkesworth lenses the human-wildlife conflict in India Playful photographs of friends dressed in dragTorbjørn Rødland’s photos are an exercise in uncomfortableCampbell Addy teams up with Getty to diversify stock imageryNew photo book celebrates cult model Guinevere Van SeenusTattooist and photographer Madame Buraka opens exhibitionImmerse yourself in Signe Pierce’s neon hyperrealityYou can now get a slice of art history for $100
