505 - 2 - Photographer mocking society

With a very serious and quite dark approach, Jewish artist Shahak Shapira has created a project called Yolocaust which aims to reflect how as a society we have become de-sensitised in the name of social media and capturing your perfect holiday picture.

Holocaust memorials are somber places designed to honour the memories of the millions who lost their lives in the genocide, but tourists at the memorials can often be seen posing for lighthearted and disrespectful photos.

Shapira, a satirist based in Berlin, Germany, lives near “The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe” in Berlin, which is a 4.7-acre space covered with 2,711 concrete slabs. It resembles a graveyard, but the designers say it’s an abstract memorial that is open to interpretation.

Visitors to the memorial, however, often use the space as a backdrop for all kinds of goofy selfies and photos. To show a different perspective of what these tourists are doing, Shapira gathered some of these photos and Photoshopped the subjects into actual historical (and horrific) photos from Nazi extermination camps.

This is a very brutal but truthful way (serious tone of voice/approach) of shaming what our society has become in terms of taking pictures for all your followers to see. 
Can consider how I could approach my response with a direct and shocking tone of voice to make people realise - scare factor like on cigarette packaging!
