Lighting book sculptures by Airan Kang

Chewing-Gum Constructions by Jérémy Laffon

Milky Way - Breath by Mihoko Ogaki

Human Body Sculptures and Light installations. Each figure is formed out of plastic and then embedded with bright LEDs, which shine through thousands of little holes and illuminate the surrounding walls. The results are a bright starry sky, projected outward from the dying figures. The series of work represents both life and death. In a bright room, the dying bodies appear morbid and in pain, but, when the lights go off, the suffering seems to disappear into a delightful, twinkling display

Matchstickmen by Wolfgang Stiller

La Vague by Mario Ceroli

The silhouetted shapes mimic the movement of the ocean, in which the water is captured mid-crest and then frozen in time. In his signature style, Ceroli connects the thin layers of uniquely texturized materials with the surrounding space in an attempt to redefine the relationship the viewer has with the environment.

Cartographic paper sculptures reveal global Cities’ history by Matthew Picton

 UK-based artist Matthew Picton uses strips of paper to construct maps of cities from around the world. The Londoner’s sculptural creations use both historic and fictional texts to produce cartographic representations of multicultural cities like Las Vegas, Dresden, Tehran, and Venice. The materials used are reflective of each respective culture, from literary and religious texts to sheet music and DVD film covers.

More than simply lining out the aerial urban landscape of each site, Picton also creatively reflects the historical scene of certain locations that have dealt with disasters, especially those pertaining to fires. The Great Fire of London in 1666 is represented by the burnt pages of Daniel Defoe’s The Plague Years. Similarly, Picton has ignited several of his paper cities to reflect their own fire-related tragedies. Taking the interpretation a step further, the artist constructed his scorched Lower Manhattan piece out of headlines following the aftermath of the World Trade Center bombings.
