French photographer Sacha Goldberger created a unique and whimsical project where he united two unorthodox worlds, the parallel universe of super heroes and fictional characters with the historical time period of the Elizabethan Era. From Batman, to Snow White, Spiderman and the Joker, Goldberger has given them a proper Flemish makeover. On his website Goldberger writes:
“The superheroes often live their lives cloaked in anonymity. These portraits give them a chance to « fix » their narcissism denied. By the temporal disturbance they produce, these images allow us to discover, under the patina of time, an unexpected melancholy of those who are to be invincible. As science fiction meets history of art, time meets an inexhaustible desire for mythology which is within each of us.”
