Joseph Ford began his adult life sensibly enough by studying French and Italian at the University of Cambridge and the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, then horrified his parents by moving to Paris to be a photographer. 

His work concentrates on people and optical illusions. Twins blended into a wall with custom knitwear? Check. A railway line merging into a zipper? Check. Painting street art on a national monument? Yup, that too.

It is held in the permanent collection of the Hamburg Art and Design Museum and the Muséed’ArtUrbain& Street Art in France, and has been exhibited as part of numerous festivals, including the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles, Zürich Aufsehen festival, Andorra Land Art Biennale, Trieste Photo Days, Lishui Photography Festival, China.

His work has won numerous awards and has inspired collaborations with LVMH, Missoni, Lacoste and many others.

Impossible Street Art. What would artists create if they had no limits?

Impossible Street Art is a project that combines street art and photography, displaying shots of a world imagined without limits by artists. “(...) what if, instead of a brick wall, the canvas was the side of a mountain or the surface of the sea?” (Joseph Ford)
