Double Exposure Shots by Daniella Zalcman

May 7th, 2013

When she moved from New York City to London last year, photojournalist Daniella Zalcman decided to start a photo series on her Instagram account that would bring the two cities together visually—collectively, they “represent her vision of home”.

The ‘New York + London’ project is a collection of double-exposure photographs, with each shot consisting of a picture of New York layered with another of London—the result is a surreal blending of unique elements from each place.

“Each pair of photos was selected based on negative space, color, and contrast—but for every composite that you see, I had to go through at least a dozen versions before finding the perfect combination.”

All of the pictures were shot and edited entirely on the photographer’s iPhone 4S, a process that she finds to be very liberating.

Airborne Beverages by Manon Wethly

May 7th, 2013

Belgium-based photographer and designer Manon Wethly keeps a wonderful Instagram account where more traditional landscapes of the European countryside are punctuated with the occasional airborne beverage. No liquid is safe from being catapulted in front of her camera, Wethly uses coffee, milk, juice, water and other drinks to get the perfect mix of form and color to make some pretty fantastic shots. She says most of the photos are captured with her iPhone though she’s also begun experimenting with larger cameras. See more of her high speed photography over on her blog.

50-Year-Old Photographs Turned Into GIFs by Cari Vander Yacht

May 6th, 2013

In the daytime Cari Vander Yacht works as a designer, but at night, she gets busy with experimental projects that would rightly make her an artist.

She put together this amusing, surreal GIF photo-series which she aptly called, “TGIMGIF” (Thank God It’s Monday’s Graphics Interchange Format).

The photographs in her series are all more or less about 50 years old—imagine that.

Flotilla of 1,000 Bioluminescent Leaves by Miya Ando

May 5th, 2013

Last year artist Miya Ando traveled to Puerto Rico where she released 1,000 non-toxic resin leaves coated with phosphorescence into a small pond. During the day the leaves would “recharge” and at night would give off a ghostly, ethereal glow much like the light of a firefly. Titled Oban, the installation was inspired by a Japanese Buddhist festival of the same name that honors the spirits of one’s ancestors. The leaves were also meant to simulate Puerto Rico’s bioluminescent bays, a natural phenomenon caused by dinoflagellates, photosynthetic underwater organisms that emit light when agitated.

Happy Street Day

May 4th, 2013

As part of her personal mission to try to bring some unexpected cheer to her neighbors, UK-based Zoe Green—who goes by the moniker Pea Green Girl—got up at 5 one April morning, or what she calls “Happy Street Day”, to decorate her entire street.

Along Shelbourne Road, she hung balloons at a bus shelter, post-box and telephone booth; stuck Post-Its with encouraging messages on a telephone pole; and pasted a “Good Morning!” sign along the bridge so that people who drove under it could see the greeting.

Green’s little project aimed to inspire people, and it must’ve brightened up someone else’s day—and it was her tiny step to changing the world, one smile at a time.

“I don’t intend to change the world, but I know that if you brighten one person’s day, they are highly likely to brighten someone else’s day,” she wrote on her blog.

Perception of Consequence

May 4th, 2013

Perception of Consequence from volvoxlabs on Vimeo.

Art Director, Kamil Nawratil recently finished a personal and very passionate project titled, Perception of Consequence. We’re psyched and super proud of him and wanted to share this piece with everyone!

Here’s a short description:

This multi-dimensional project represents the idea of consequence and constraints of motion set by the rules of physics. Two fluid-evolving forms are placed in a reversible entropic system and simulated to resemble evolving human states and emotions. The system itself evolves from organic form into chaos, but its cyclical nature pushes the system towards rebirth. Situated against a 15’ fabricated wall and within a tangible environment, control-activated whirlwinds encapsulate viewers as if like being part of the system itself. Exploiting both your visual, auditory and touch sensory systems, Perception of Consequence will guide you through the experience of transformation and evolution.

Waves by Pierre Carreau

May 3rd, 2013

Photographer Pierre Carreau was born in 1972 near Paris surrounded by a family of artists including a photographer, painter and sculptor, all of which would influence his creative upbringing as well as his artistic output. As a child he was always fascinated by the manifestation of waves and the diversity of color, shape, and size found in each of them. Some of his first photography projects involved work for surfing magazines and water sport equipment manufacturers.

Carreau’s work has now moved into fine art as he shoots waves with a variety of high speed cameras using various macro and wide angle lenses, capturing water shapes that appear more sculptural than liquid. These are truly some of the most remarkable wave photos I’ve ever seen and you can see many, many more over on his website. He also has a number of fine art prints available over at Clic Gallery.

Pool, The Alchemy of Blue by Lizzie Buckmaster Dove

May 2nd, 2013

Coledale is a small seaside village in New South Wales, Australia, a place known for its surfing and slow pace of life. It’s also home to artist Lizzie Buckmaster Dove who for years has taken daily walks along the beach, stopping to pick up things she found along the way. One of the objects she collected most frequently were smooth stones painted light blue on a single side which she would eventually discover were fragments of an oceanside sea pool that was being slowly consumed by the surf.

With help from a grant provided by the Australia Council for the Arts, Dove set to work on a series of installations using the swimming pool concrete. Titled Pool, The Alchemy of Blue, the works are meant as sort of an homage to lunar cycles and the moon’s power to create the tides that reclaimed the Coledale pool. Before an imminent construction project to completely resurface the pool Dove collected even larger pieces of the pool which would eventually help form the suspended installation you see above at Wollong City Gallery.

You can see a video of Dove discussing the series over on Vimeo and see much more work on her website. All of the photography at Wollong City Gallery courtesy David Corbett, and the outdoor works were photographed by Bernie Fischer.
