Chinese photographer, Di Liu, collages digital illustration and photography in this series titled Animal Regulation.
It’s been a surreal few days for New York City so these images make sense in my head space.

“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”
- Ernest Hemingway

For the photo series Flying Houses, the sky is literally the limit. Parisian photographer Laurent Chéhère takes us on a trip to a whole neighbourhood in the sky. This beautiful series of traditional photographs digitally re-touched can be seen at the Paris-Beijing Gallery in Paris until December 4.
What, at first sight, could appear as a study/sketch of a classic sculpture, is actually a incredibly crowded artwork made of thousands of tiny characters and elements drawn in a very japanese/manga taste. This is the pen on paper work by Keita Sagaki.
Marina Abramović and Ulay, Death Self, 1977
To create this Death self, the two performers devised a piece in which they connected their mouths and took in each other’s exhaled breaths until they had used up all of the available oxygen. Seventeen minutes after the beginning of the performance they both fell to the floor unconscious, their lungs having filled with carbon dioxide. This personal piece explored the idea of an individual’s ability to absorb the life of another person, exchanging and destroying it.
Ulay and Abramović collaborated together for over a decade, upholding an intense and intimate relationship. In 1988, the two began a spiritual journey to end their relationship; each started at opposite ends of the Great Wall of China, walked 2500 km over a span of 90 days, met in the center, and said good-bye.
Kevin Van Aelst creates brilliantly composed photographs that make you go, “huh?” Kevin’s photographs have been featured in tons of publications, including Wired, Time, and the New York Times!
Surreal Photography Works Will Have You Staring for Hours
Carolina Fontoura Alzaga is a multidisciplinary artist out of Los Angeles with a penchant for re-purposing castoff materials and exploring sociopolitical themes. She’s currently selling some chandeliers made from used bicycle chains at her Etsy page. You don’t even have to be into cycling to like these. The heavy chains almost give off a medieval vibe and they look like they give off some really nice, warm light. Looks like they’re being offered at some pretty affordable prices as well. (via)
