This 16-Year-Old’s Instagram Will Make You Go Travel

Think you have a quite marvelous Instagram account? All things considered, be prepared to be bested by Jannik Obenhoff, a 16-year-old picture taker whose pics will make you, sitting in the workplace,… verging.

As he says himself:

“You’ll perceive how wonderful nature can be, if u won’t go out and investigate”.

Jannik has filled his Instagram account with scene photography, once in a while blending individuals in the shot, now and again giving his group of onlookers the ethereal point of view with his automaton. The outcomes are first class, and in spite of the fact that he’s at the early phase of his vocation, he could as of now be contrasted with the works of an expert picture taker.

He began practicing this interest seriously when he was 13, and over a time of three years he’s now assembled, 200,000 devotees

Become an epic sculpture by putting your head in a gallery

Georgian artist Tezi Gabunia needs to activate a conversation about hyper-realistic problems in an artwork. His modus operandi is falsification. In his workplace your head into rdquo & gallery, Gabunia needed to bring the individuals, rather than the other way around the galleries and the artwork.

He created tiny models of well-known museums like the Louvre and galleries like Gagosian.

Individuals become a display themselves, take an image and can set their head on the models.

Surreal Photos Of The Burning Man Festival

Welcome home. That’s how you’re greeted when entering a remote piece of Nevada desert where real meets surreal in the annual Burning Man festival.

For photographer Victor Habchy the festival started in 2014:

“I simply packed my bag and traveled the world to attend this magnificent event. I came alone, but let me tell you something: I never felt lonely for a second.”

For one week that patch of desert is transformed into the most surreal setting where anything goes:

“Never in my life have I experienced more love, more freedom, and more self-expression.”

This place gathers everything that is left of the human dreams and utopia and how, by every individual means, we could work together to build up a better world.

“I found beauty in every person and I saw myself beautiful too. I have shared so much, and I have been covered of joy, freedom and love.”

People say you can’t describe what you feel during this festival. However, what they first told me when I arrived is relevant to describe how my week as: ‘Welcome home.’

Speaking Of Love Through Lights And Shape

Situated in Southbank Center, the installation catches the visitor’s eye immediately with its vibrant colours and shimmering material. Recalling heart, each of the aluminium structures is made of intertwined tubes and clad in 3M’s Solar Mirror Film.

The designers from New York-based studio SOFTlab took advantage of the material’s properties to refract and cast the light to put a woven landscape of colour into the interior of Southbank Center.

A kaleidoscope of sunlight reflections, the net-like hanging structures interprets the stories of Babylon and Eden. While the first one was a place of many cultures and languages, the second one symbolizes free knowledge and expression, which appears to be the designers’ response to the main idea of the festival.

Do Ho Suh Investigates The Idea of Home

“Pretty much every public art piece I’ve made is an anti-monument.”

He focuses on the ways people occupy public space and challenges the identity of the individual in a global society. “Viewers have to have a completely different relationship with the piece, so their way of looking at art has to change.” Suh said in an interview with Sculpture Magazine.

Do Ho Suh was born in Seoul where he studied Oriental Painting. He moved to the United States and continued his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University. The artist’s work can be seen in numerous museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City or the Tate Modern in London.
