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.

Ice Typography by Nicole Dextras

in , , , ,

Even this coolest winter in European history has its pluses if you are a creative head. For Canadian environmental artist Nicole Dextras a severe weather is just another challenge to create massive ice messages to the human being or penguins. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ndextras/

When the ice texts are installed on site, the temperature determines how long it will take for them to change state from solid to liquid. This phase of transition becomes symbolic of the interconnectedness of language and culture to the land as they are affected by time and by a constant shifting and transforming nature.

This is the delicate paper art of Anatoly Vorobyev from Siberia. Much of his work looks like regular printed illustrations, but the magical part is when you see a close-up picture of the cutout shapes. The patterns are detailed and precisely cut with a Japanese X-Acto knife. http://www.flickr.com/photos/v_a_a/ http://www.etsy.com/shop/Papercutout via
