16 brilliant photomontages that show how time passes inexorably even for show business stars
Imagine being able to travel back in time and meet yourself younger: what would you say to the version of yourself which was a few years younger? Would you convince them to change their life path to try to influence your future, or would you approach them as if they were stars and take a cute selfie? Of course, such a paradox is only a matter of our wildest imagination, yet there is a Dutch artist named Ard Gelinck who, thanks to his extraordinary talent in using Photoshop, has combined the portraits of some of the most famous stars of show business with images of them from of a few years ago.
A photographic and artistic experiment that manages to illustrate better than others how time passes for everyone, even for the celebrities who seem to be untouchable by the inexorable passing of the days, transforming the appearance and personality of anyone, without exception.
