The Italian artist Giacomo Carmagnola is the kind of artist who likes to transform old pictures and to “pimp” them for a second life. He uses digital tools to add a unique, glitchy twist to photos of the past. Faces and objects are obscured with long, colourful strands that seem to melt.

The crucifixion of Christ now has green trails that emanating from the cross. Likewise, a guillotine blade has been replaced with the same type of strands. The photographs are still recognizable, but now offer a colourful addition that changes their meaning. And depending on your point of view, make them funny or profane.
