Johnny Tergo is having his photographic cake and eating it, too. Using an elaborate setup in the back of a Chevy Silverado pickup truck, the photographer is able to quickly take street photos that have all the gloss and lighting of fine-tuned studio pieces. The effect gives the everyday moments of Tergo’s native Los Angeles […]
One-hundred human brains from patients of the Texas State Mental Hospital. In jars of fluid. Numbered. Labeled with the specifications of their malformalities. Stacked in a storage closet. Untouched for thirty years. That’s what photographer Adam Voorhes found when Scientific American magazine sent him to the University of Texas at Austin to borrow “a normal human […]
To create these vaguely unsettling images, sculptor Nathan Sawaya and photographer Dean West augment staged but otherwise realistic scenes with an extra shot of artifice in the form of hyperrealistic LEGO sculptures. In the image above, it’s the cute little dog and the mannequin in the window. Each photo presents an archetypically American scene–the trenchcoated […]
We are strangely hypnotized by this Tumblr from our comrade at Mother New York, Gustavo Luz Sousa and the international Kilo Collective. He deliberately misuses his iPhone panorama app to create these glitched-out images, depicting a chaotic-parallel-universe New York City where random objects are sucked into nonexistence, while others repeat themselves kaleidoscopically. Check it. […]
At first, British photographer Martin Usborne just wanted to do some reporting on people who leave their dogs locked up in cars. But as he went around scouring parking lots, “making barking noises to try and awaken sleeping dogs that were not actually there,” his project took on a new artistic direction. “The Silence of […]
This alphabet-themed series of photographs by Anastasia Mastrakouli is all like naked and stuff “utilizes the nude human form to highlight the dialectical relationship between anatomy and visual art. each image is the product of an experimental performance, rendered as a composition of a silhouette and surface while conforming to the shape of the English alphabet.” Thanks, […]
You never get to see the bottoms of skateboards, so we asked these skaters around Chelsea Piers and Times Square to flip their boards over. Check out the stickers, the tags, the scratches and the gashes that tell a story. Shred. Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the photos in the gallery […]
Oh, wow, that’s so cool man how you and your buds climbed those famous pyramids in Egypt and took some photos and Gawker’s like waaaahhh. Tell me about it in Russian. “One of the richest experiences of my life.” Was it now? How you climbed 450 feet upon extremely old and fragile architecture and how you had to hide out in […]
“We lived together. I wouldn’t really call him my boyfriend. We did have relations but I don’t think that time was about girlfriends and boyfriends. We had multiple girlfriends and boyfriends. Sorry!” Alexis Adler is laughing. Yesterday, ArtInfo reported that Jean-Michel Basquiat’s “ex-girlfriend” had been hiding a trove of previously-unseen artifacts for thirty years in the apartment […]
They’re one of the most beguiling architectural features of the modern landscape: cell phone towers, poorly disguised as trees, dotting the forests, highways, and suburbs. Photographer Dillon Marsh noticed the towers’ garish beauty and began documenting them in 2009. Coming from South Africa, the birthplace of foliage-clad network towers, he’s had a lot of time […]
