Displacements is an immersive film installation by Michael Naimark.

An archetypal Americana living room was installed in an exhibition space. Then two performers were filmed in the space using a 16mm motion picture camera on a slowly rotating turntable in the room’s center. After filming, the camera was replaced with a film loop projector and the entire contents of the room were spray-painted white.

Thanks and thanks.

Came across this via Eddie Campbell’s blog.

Brian Dettmer carves into books revealing the artwork inside, creating complex layered three-dimensional sculptures.

Check them out here, really simple idea, but really nicely done.

I’m not a huge fan of this Polish artists work to be honest, but this one piece I thought was pure genius. The deformed little fellow just won’t give up - he knows, obviously, that as an angel he should be on a stone pedestal too.

Go for it little fellow!

‘I Might Die’ by Mark Bodnar. Yes, I know it might seem I’m on some morbid theme, but it’s co-incidence I assure you.

Actually it was the following piece, ‘The Hardest Part’ that caught my eye initially.. which might not be morbid. Actually, looking at it now I’m not so sure!

‘The hardest Part’ is done in Acrylic on canvas, 28″ x 35″ and would set you back $4,000 from gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight.

One evening I stumbled upon a Spanish dollmaker called GriXx who documents her work on Flickr. Her dolls are wonderful - sexy, cute and creepy all at once.

It’s worth going through her entire photostream, starting at the end and working back. That way you will get to see the progression of certain dolls from plans to completion.

Her photos show wonderful distressed and broken dolls, cute little ceramic creations and wonderful sketches.

But it’s the dolls that really shine. They are wonderfully detailed, the work that must go into them is incredible and the finished products are disconcertingly lifelike and soulless at the same time.
