Upside Down World

The Upside Down World of Philippe Ramette :

French artist Philippe Ramette’s improbable, gravity-defying poses might look like classic Photoshop, until you notice they are peppered with little incongruities.
Ramette goes to extraordinary lengths to create his implausible set-ups, building hidden metal supports that he calls "sculpture-structures". Metal rings tether him by the ankles as he hangs motionless from the Grimaldi Forum building in Monaco, his trousers and tie strapped down and his hair gelled flat to give the impression of being upright.
