Face Down in a Book

I don’t know how many times I have fallen asleep with my face in a book, although lately I’m falling asleep with my laptop. I know I’m gonna kill it that way and have to go back to reading books before bed.
Check out this whimsical series of photos titled Get Back in Your Book from Canadian photographer Lissy Elle.
Colin Christian’s Pod People

I love these weird pod sculptures from Colin Christian. If the films 2001 Space Odyssey vs. Alien were to be made into a movie, these would definitely be the new creature eggs and instead of a cave, they would be incubating in a Eero Saarinen building.

Ephemicropolis 2010
Check out this obsessive work constructed with 100,000 staples by UK artist and designer Peter Root.
Stacks of staples were broken into varying sizes from full stacks about 12cm high down to single staples. These stacks were then stood up and arranged over a period of 40 hours.

Pink Terror by Mike Barzman and Christian Swegal
Don’t know too much about this video, but I love watching things getting smashed and exploding in slow motion.

Hyper, 2007
I love these photos from French photographer Denis Darzacq. I’ve seen suspended motion photographs many times before but what makes these stand out is the supermarket and it’s vibrant color as a backdrop.

Sugar Free, Plaster bust, sugar free gum, 2010
Brooklyn artist Nick van Woert uses some interesting materials on plaster busts. Ok, so now maybe people will start to use their gum as Art instead of spitting it out on the sidewalks in San Francisco.

Børre Sæthre – My Private Sky (Installation)
Norwegian artist Børre Sæthre has a way with the uncanny and is heavily influenced by the sets of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I thought of the piece above while listening to The Blues, which is a collaboration between Primary 1 and Nina Persson of the Cardigans.
