Carl Warner turns the human body into landscapes in his “Bodyscapes” series (PHOTOS).
Carl Warner Carl Warner can make fantastic landscapes using just about anything: office supplies, nuts and bolts, even clothing. He might best be known, though, for his "Foodscapes," an idea that came to him in a food market at a time when his career as an advertising photographer was stagnating. Lately, Warner is in the habit of making "Bodyscapes" after finding inspiration in the scenes of naked bodies in the dusty, rocky terrain of Michelangelo Antonioni’s film, Zabriskie Point. Compared to food, Warner said, the human body is more limited in the types of angles and shapes it can make. In the images featuring a single shot of a torso or back, only a small amount of digital manipulation—to add the sky—is required. "I know people would love these to be made with many different bodies, but doing this would mean having different skin tones, which would lose the sense of continuity within the landscape. Warner’s subjects are friends and models.

A Reflective Palace of Rainbows by Kimsooja
Created in 2006 by multidisciplinary artist Kimsooja, To Breathe – A Mirror Woman was an elaborate installation at the Palacio de Cristal, Parque del Retiro, in Madrid. Originally built in the late 1880s to house a collection of flora and fauna from the Philippines, Kimsooja transformed the Palacio de Cristal into a multisensory sound and light experience. A special translucent diffraction film was used to cover the windows to create an array of naturally occurring rainbows which were in turn reflected by a mirrored surface that covered the entire floor. Additionally, an audio recording of the artist breathing was played throughout the space to further enhance the experience. The installation was on view through the end of the summer and you can read much more about it here. Kimsooja most recently wrapped the Korean Pavilion with a similar film treatment at the 2013 Venice Art Biennale.

The eerie photograph is part of a series by Dutch photographer Niki Feijen, who has captured furniture, ornaments and clothes frozen in time in homes where the owners have long since departed.
