as part of a year-long project '365 days of clones', canadian art teacher david eger has recreated famous photographs and paintings
using star wars figurines. the scenography is done in real life rather than in photoshop, in a project that was eger's response to his
new year's resolution to pursue personal photographic endeavours more often.
eger photographed each piece on a date relevant to the original work: the anniversary of the date the photograph was taken
in the case of most contemporary pieces; or the birth or death dates of the artist for images like his recreations of pablo picasso's
'guernica' or leonardo da vinci's 'vitruvian man'.
'troopers atop a skyscraper' (charles c. ebbets's 'lunchtime atop a skyscraper')
'abbey road' (ilan macmillan's 'abbey road' cover shot of the beatles)
'galactic gothic' (grant wood's 'american gothic')
'B.F. boba fett' (cover of film 'E.T. extra terrestrial'), with yoda in bicycle basket
'migrant trooper' (dorothea lange's 'migrant mother' great depression photograph of florence owens)
'a royal kiss' (recreation of the wedding day first kiss of prince william and catherine middleton at the buckingham palace)
'gandhi' (margaret bourke-white's portrait of gandhi spinning cotton)
'million trooper march' (bob adelman's photograph of martin luther king jr.)
