Re-imagined Utopian Worlds !!!

Highly acclaimed, multi award-winning French photographer and visual artist Jean-François Rauzier has quite a long tradition as a distinctive visual storyteller and a prolific purveyor of re-imagined photographic hyper realities and utopian worlds.

In 2002, he invented the concept of the HYPERPHOTO, an elaborate virtual image consisting of several hundreds of shots taken with a telephoto lens and then digitally stitched together with the aid of technology.

The outcome is images of monumental scale and depth, assembled with such virtuosity that they trick and deceive the eye, simulating the illusion of reality.

Nils-Erik Larson Wanders….

Enjoy the street photography of Swedish photographer Nils-Erik Larson, who shoots primarily in black and white and has a wonderful knack for being in the right place at the right time. See much more of his work over on DeviantART.

 

Beautiful Skin…

Israeli artist Ronit Bigal photographs the body completely exposed. The camera explores the body, capturing different parts, discovering a world of hidden landscapes, textures, and unspoken eroticism. For the artist, this was a journey of unforeseen surprise. Therefore she wraps parts of her photos with floral ornamentation and others with cited calligraphy taken from Biblical texts.

 

“Karma” goes Beyond….

South Korean Sculptor Do Ho Suh‘s installation of 98 men is currently standing tall at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The 23 foot sculpture entitled ”Karma” is made out of stainless steel and was also recently installed in Sydney.
