Fall against the landscape: a hundred-year-old cliche in a new, wonderful travel interpretation

The United States met bananas in the mid-19th century. Exotic fruit has become so popular that city streets are quickly covered with banana skins. People just threw them everywhere. Of course, the cleanings were spoiled, and passers-by slipped on rotten waste. Since that time, cliches about a fall due to a banana skin that has been beaten tens of thousands of times and, in the end, even become a kind of bad form have confidently settled in animated films and comedies.

But the duo of photographers Max Sidentopfu and Jay Pi Bonigno managed to give this hackneyed plot extraordinary freshness and originality. It occurred to the natives of Namibia and Uruguay to take a series of landscape photographs in which their heroes (a young couple) would slip on a banana skin and fall against the backdrop of the most beautiful and picturesque views of our planet. The idea was realized, and a collection of photos framed in a book called BANANA.
