Seung-Hwan Oh | On Tumblr

Seung-Hwan Oh works and lives in Seoul, where he was born and raised until moving to New York where he studied film and photography at CUNY Hunter College. His work and practice stem from his interest and approach toward other disciplinary thoughts and ideas, from philosophy to sciences. His most recent work, exhibited at Zaha Museum, was inspired by the notion of the first advent of vision in life on earth, and his current work focuses on implementing microbial growth on film as a means to explore the impermanence of matter as well as the material limitations of photography.

The Whimsically Macabre Scenes of @__remmidemmi

To see more of Sandro’s explorations of “bodies with no regret,” follow @__remmidemmi on Instagram.

In his macabre, tragicomic photo series, Italian photographer Sandro Giordoan (@__remmidemmi) explores the willingness of people to put the safety of material objects before their own well-being.

When conceiving the project, _IN EXTREMIS (bodies with no regret), Sandro drew from personal experience. “Last summer I had a small but tough bicycle accident,” he explains. “I lost 30% of my right hand’s functions because I never let go of the object I was holding as I fell.”

When, shortly after, a friend broke his leg to prevent his smartphone from falling in water, Sandro became concerned. “We live in a time where we risk material things becoming more important than our own lives, and this is really worrying.”

Sandro channeled his concern into crafting meticulous and whimsical photos. “I immediately felt the urgency to capture the moment of impact. I wanted to talk about obsessions, neurosis and frailties of our times through my personal experience.” The resulting photos are at once humorous and haunting.

Many think that the wildly contorted bodies in Sandro’s photos are dolls or dummies. Not so, says Sandro. “I work exclusively with professional actors who are able to position themselves in anatomically impossible poses because they are trained to use their bodies to communicate.”

Los Angeles-based artist and baker Christine McConnell meticulously recreated her parents’ house using German chocolate cake, complete with flickering lights in the windows.

"The foundation of the house is made out of layer upon layer of German chocolate cake. McConnell then covered the base with piped buttercream frosting and melted chocolate—no fondant necessary. She constructed the windows out of frosted sugar glass so that light could shine through from the interior and light up the house."

She also created an oil painting of the house, which Redditor Your_Post_As_A_Movie used to create this awesome faux movie poster.

Click here for a brief video to check out McConnell’s mouthwatering cake house from all sides.

Visit Neatorama or My Modern Metropolis for additional images of the original house, interior and exterior.

We Are What We Are

"We are what we are" is a collaborative project from the 2014 third year Photomedia documentary class from the ANU School of Art in Canberra. This collection of work documents the lives of people living in Australia in the year 2014.

The book is done! Now hopefully it will arrive on time for assessment.

Here’s what I know.

You grew up, like most, where you got trophies for participation, medals for winning bullshit things and undying support from your doting parents who just wanted to see you succeed — or be happy — whichever came first. Because even if you weren’t the best, they still wanted...

Wow, I adore this photograph! Love the harsh light, bright colours, crazy exaggerated location. This is my kinda photograph! Right down to the tea party setting. It reminds me of some of Ellen Von Unwerth's photography. In particular the collection of images she did for Wheels and Dollbaby a couple of years ago comes to mind. It's one of my fav fashion series of all time. This one shot by Tom Van Schelven is definitely up there with it.

Location #9 - Rama's Fiji Indian Restaurant, Pearce For a tiny restaurant located in the suburbs, this place has certainly managed to make a name for itself. Having heard about it through word-of-mouth from various sources, I thought it'd be worth finally checking out. I hadn't covered Indian or Fijian cuisines in my project yet, so with this location I hoped to tackle both in one go. My first attempt was on a Wednesday night. I showed up at opening time - 6pm - to ask if I could photograph the place. They told me to wait 30 minutes until the manager arrived, so I wondered off for a while. When I returned at 6:30 the place was packed!! Minnie, the lovely lady who runs the place, was keen for me to take photos, but every table was booked out that night, so we arranged for me to come in the following Thursday. So with a table booked and my trusty camera in hand I prepared to tackle the busy restaurant. Though it was a bit cramped due to the crowds, and people were constantly flowing in to pick up takeaways, I still managed to get a few quick shots of the space before it filled out entirely. The decor itself is minimal but vibrant, and so is the food! They manage to turn a simple curry and rice into something phenomenal. Honestly I've never had a Chicken Korma (or any curry for that matter) as good as this one. The chicken melted away and the sauce was so creamy and sweet I could drink it! I also got a serve of saffron rice, cooked and coloured to perfection, and a roti bread. They also gave me a complimentary papadum with mint yogurt sauce while I waited. It didn't look like anyone else got this little bonus (the perks of being a uni student), but the service seemed equally attentive and lovely for everyone. You could tell most of the diners were regulars. Minnie knew many of them by name, and made sure to check on almost everyone personally. I was lucky enough to get a lovely photo of her before I left. Normally I'm not a fan of smiling photos, but she has such a vibrant personality and an energy about her it just seemed right. To top off this great dining experience, Minnie knocked off about $10 from the bill! I made sure to get an email address so I can send them some of the photos. They were so kind to me it's the least I can do. Now everyone, go eat there! You won't regret it!
