How to find hidden stories in photography | Lucas Levitan | TEDxDenHelder

Lucas Levitan invades photographs he finds on the internet. He surprises the original photographer with hidden stories he sees in the image. This talk gives you several examples and tells you how the story started. I’m an illustrator today, filmmaker last week, photographer last month and art director last year. A new cycle might start again soon. I’m a Brazilian multimedia artist based in London and Madrid. I search for inspiration in everyday life and turn ordinary objects and scenes into intriguing images that sometimes take shape as illustration, sculptures, installations, paintings or video-art. He sees the world with a little twist on reality. And by de-contextualising them, I change the way they are perceived and engage the audience in a unexpected and playful way. I try to have fun, basically. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
