from the "this stuff is garbage" dept.


Environmental Graffiti has a selection of shadow art that is created by shining light on what appears to be a pile of junk. Junk that looks like, well, junk. But add some light and voila! Art!

British-born and -based artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster skilfully skirt the boundaries between beauty and the shadowier aspects of humanity, playing with our perceptions as well as our notions of taste. Many of their most notable pieces are made from piles of rubbish, with light projected against them to create a shadow image entirely different to that seen when looking directly at the deliberately disguised pile.

See it HERE.
