Protective coloration can help animals change their body color according to the environment, avoid enemies, or hunt prey. As the natural enemies of most animals, humans are born with no protective coloration, but this does not prevent humans from wanting to blend into the surrounding environment. . Photographer Joseph Ford and knitting artist Nina Dodd collaborated on the knitted camouflage series, which uses customized sweaters to allow the wearer to perfectly blend into the surroundings, and then records it through Fords lens. People smile knowingly.
Dodds works visually simulate environments of various sizes. Some are seamlessly connected with the background and scenery behind him, like a line between sea and sky, while others are integrated with small things and objects. For example, a banana disguised as a watermelon, a farmer blending into a herd of cattle, a calf pretending to be an escalator, in short, all fruits, animals, buildings, landscapes and other common or uncommon things in daily life are the objects of Dodds imitation. Moreover, the final picture showed no post-processing or digital retouching at all, and the true effect of the sweaters protective color can be seen even more clearly.
Recently, they compiled this series of works into a book called "Invisible Jumpers", which is published by the publisher Hoxton Mini Press and can be found on Amazon (only shipped in the United States) or Hoxton (currently available for overseas shipping) order.
