From parents and their children, to twins, siblings and cousins, the series is quite fascinating, albeit a little spooky.

The splicing is done very well and the blending of the faces is near seamless. The project was shortlisted for a Cannes Lions (one of the world’s most prestigious advertising awards) and there are over 24 portraits on Ulric’s website.

Please visit: genetic.ulriccollette.com to see the entire collection.

The series will also be on display from October 2 to October 28, 2012 at the Centaur Theatre’s Seagram Art Gallery in Montreal, Canada.
