What does it mean to be ‘normal’? Everyone’s sense of ‘normal’ is different, and it’s this unique difference and alt-normal disposition that Rio de Janerio-based art collective Kolor celebrate in their latest photo series, The Normals.

Known for their avant-garde, arresting photographic work that explores societal stereotypes, Kolor‘s latest hyperreal photo series is as wacky, humourous and provocative as the characters they portray.
Confronting the assumption that most people want to be normal, Kolor present an array of protagonists who defy categorisation. They don’t just follow different social or cultural tribes, they create their own reality. Their resistance of conventions gives birth to what some might consider peculiar, absurd and bizarre.
Kolor’s creative and photographic genius, Pol Kurucz, considers the “genuine eccentrics, weirdos and lunatics” in his new series to be the “the new Normals”. What do you think?

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
