Today's image is a sculptural piece by Mike and Doug Starn. I loved their work when I was a student I still love it now 30 years later. They were pioneers of expanded photography before that phrase was widely used. They are process and concept-driven artists who are quietly inventive, without fanfare or hype. By re-engaging with photography´s past they have managed to predict its future. Here is a great video of them giving an overview of their career so far - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIKF5_qCwGk
