Darkened Cities by Thierry Cohen

in , , , ,

Thierry Cohen is seen as one of the pioneers of digital photography. Since 2010 he has devoted himself to a single project – “Villes Eteintes” (Darkened Cities) – which depicts the major cities of the world as they would appear at night without light pollution, or in more poetic terms: how they would look if we could see the stars.

To make the work he combines two photographs, one with the retouched night city and second with the sky in a same angle of the cityscape and latitude just where it is possible to see the stars like the Mojave, the Sahara, and the Atacama Desert.

In Pieces

A multimedia collaboration between Nathan Sawaya (Sculptor) and Dean West (Photographer). The project "In Pieces" is a series of tableau compositions based on ideas about nature, culture, society and more specifically, identity. The images have been constructed using modern photography techniques, combined with specially sculpted LEGO® objects placed within the scenes.

Naked Silhouette Alphabet

in , , ,

"The photographic series NAKED SILHOUETTE ALPHABET is a latin alphabet art, formed by the naked body and performance of experimental textures that depict the silhouette." says the creator Anastasia Mastrakouli

In this series the goal is to highlight the dialectical relationship between anatomy and visual arts. Each image displays the way in which the body turns into one illustrative and choreographic communication channel of a message. The body is cut off from its physical nature and is perceived as an imprint. The body shape becomes a letter through a deliberately abstract and other-worldly aesthetic.

Graffiti of Speed / Mirror of Symmetry by Sinichi Higashi

in , , ,

Sinichi Higashi‘s series Graffiti of Speed/Mirror Symmetry takes street art to the next level as he symmetrically mirrors long exposure photographs to capture a rapturous, spaced-out view of Tokyo’s urban cityscape. His view is a fast-paced, futuristic world where ghostly flashes of bright lights form translucent, abstract lines and shapes that hover through the hard concrete and metal of the city’s engineering and urban plan. via

Eugenio Recuenco versus Pablo Picasso

in , , ,

I always admire artists' interpretations and inspirations they do from challenging or taking as a course other famous artwork. This time I was hyped up by the way acclaimed Spanish photographer Eugenio Recuenco challenged another great spaniard Pablo Picasso and created a series of photographies inspired by that genius.
