Intrigued by what he could not see, Harold Edgerton made it his life’s mission to analyze motion and extend our perception of time.
Edgerton was an inventor and a MIT professor who combined the stroboscopic process with the camera’s flash, and thereby he was able to photograph an entire range of movement that previously could not be seen by the naked eye.

This great arty bodypaint ad campaing for Breast Cancer Foundation is so well thought out. They’ve created awereness on a very serious issue in a humourous way. And that’s a tough balance.

German artist Clemens Behr makes some seriously wicked installations! He uses the simplest materials to create complex ephemeral architectures, which fill gallery spaces with origami-like structures.
Clemens Behr was born in 1985, lives in Dortmund/Germany and is currently studying graphic design.

SHIFT is a beautiful photo series by 21-year old photographer Johnny Lucus. The colourful and blurry effect was achieved using a pair of recular paper 3D glasses. Johnny folded them to double the effect and held it over the lens. Simple as that!
Do visit Johnny Lucus’ Behance portfolio.

David McDermott & Peter McGough explore different periods, in their way of life as well as in their art. For over 30 years, the art duo have been living as though it’s the end of the 19th century. From a townhouse in the East Village they created their art by candlelight, lived without modern appliances and traveled through Manhattan on horseback complete with top hats and the finest couture from nearly a century ago.
Their inspiration may perhaps be found in their recent paintings, which copy the iconography of the Hollywood films noirs and the comics of the 1960’s.

This numbers series by Stockholm-based photographer Alexander Crispin caught my eye. All though it is not difficult to shot these still lifes, it is a highly meticulous process that takes time and the results are always really visual. Done for an ad campaign for the Swedish company SET Revision.
Reminded me of Linda Hundgren’s food campaign for Hemköp.

Lisbon-based illustrator Christiana Couceiro makes beautiful collage work.
“I collect memories, personal and collective, national and international. My collages are made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new one. They may include newspaper titles, vintage photos, pieces of paper, portions of other artworks, book pages, placed on a new piece of paper.”
