Chapter 1: Hugo met Ingrid in a Bean vs Corn tournament in 2003. Ingrid won after eating Hugo's pieces. Chapter 2: Hugo invited Ingrid to his apartment. They watched 'In The Realm of The Senses'. They got engaged. Chapter 3: "Ingrid, don't feel upset, you're young. There's still plenty to come. Now set the table and let's have dinner." The victim is @uptopforthebarnacle 's great gallery.

Lucas Levitan liebt Photobombing. Doch anstatt selbst grinsend auf den Fotos anderer Menschen aufzutauchen, hatte der brasilianische Künstler eine andere Idee. Auf seinem Instagram-Account teilt er Instagram-Bilder von ihm unbekannten Menschen und verziert diese mit lustigen Illustrationen. So werden aus Schnappschüssen und Urlaubsbildern fantasievolle Cartoons.

Über sich selbst sagt Levitan, er sehe die Realität ein wenig verdreht. Er liebe es, Alltagssituationen aus ihrem Kontext zu lösen, lustig umzudeuten oder weiterzuspinnen: „Ich versuche grundsätzlich, Spaß zu haben.“

Ich versuche grundsätzlich, Spaß zu haben.
Lucas Levitan

Seine Symbiose aus Fotografie und Illustration nennt Levitan Photo Invasion. Dabei ist es Levitan besonders wichtig, die ursprünglichen Urheber*innen der Fotos, die er bearbeitet, zu nennen und keine Bilder ohne die Genehmigung der Fotograf*innen zu verwenden. Nutzer*innen, die Lust darauf haben, dass der Künstler ihre Bilder bearbeitet, können ihn mit dem Hashtag #Iwanttobeinvaded auf ihre Instagram-Posts aufmerksam machen.
