Colorful patterns created with living things

There is so much color and beauty in nature and artist Christopher Marley captures it fully in the book “Biophilia”, (literally “love of life”). Inside you can find a collection of his artwork, where he patiently arranges insects, urchins or marine creatures in mosaics or other prismatic patterns, highlighting the exquisite design found everywhere in the natural world. Apparently you can order these amazing artworks online.

Documenting everything

Hong Hao is a Chinese photographer who, for the past 14 years, is documenting almost everything he has consumed or possessed in his life. He explains: “Day by day, I put my daily consumed objects into a scanner piece by piece, like keeping a visual diary. After scanning the original objects, I’ll save them in digital forms and categorise these digital files into different folders in my PC, in order to make a collage of them later on. This task, like yogi’s daily practice, has become a habit in my day-to-day life as well as a tool to observe the human condition in contemporary consumer society.” 

The collages are usually combined by certain themes, for example: small things, books, supermarket items, electrical appliances,  paper notes or just by color…  and the resulting large-format compositions are an impressive detailed account of one man’s everyday life.

Illuminating North Korea

David Guttenfelder is a National Geographic photographer I admire and follow on Instagram, and is one of the very few Western journalists allowed to travel in North Korea. These photos and video, from his recent assignment for The New York Times are a window to a country that has not been photographed for at least 60 years.

Also see here an unbelievable selection of everyday North Korean objects, that the photographer has collected and photographed during his 40 trips through the country.

Perfect cubes

Lernert & Sander-food-2

Dutch artists and filmmakers Lernert & Sander, were commissioned by De Volkskrant newspaper to make a photograph for a special issue on food. The result is a real, non-manipulated photo of a wide variety of unprocessed food, cut into perfect little 2.5cm cubes and arranged into a grid layout. You have to look at the close-up image to be convinced and get a better idea at what these cubes are like.
