New Underwater Ink Photographs by Alberto Seveso Over the past two years or so there’s been no shortage of photography and short films featuring the sensuous curls of ink plumes dispersing underwater. Yet nobody comes close to the master, Italian photographer Alberto Seveso (previously here and here) who creates impressive underwater landscapes so rich in detail and color it makes me want to swim through my monitor. See more from his new series, a due Colori. I know you don't watch me walk away & body, remember I know you don’t watch me walk away. I know you don’t press your forehead against the double glass to keep me in your sight. There is no straining for that one last look, no time suspended in the final unblinking stare. You don’t stay with me until I am just another city glow fading in to night. Tonight I have said I don’t want to do this anymore. I have said it in the way a liar can tell a single truth, sudden and surprising. I don’t want to do this anymore. I have held on to you so long that my hands still clench around you. I move to the edge of the bed and I tell you I am leaving. I know you don’t get up after I close the door behind me. It is my 35th birthday and I will not cry. Image by Joanne Piechota Author’s update – November 2012: Jo recently created a visual essay inspired by the above piece; for more information on I know you don’t watch me walk away (imagined) click here.

Jacques HONVAULT - Video - La synthèse différentielle Depuis plus de six ans, l'ingénieur Jacques HONVAULT cherche à traquer l'insolite dans des phénomènes invisibles, principalement dans le domaine de l'infiniment rapide. Il utilise pour se faire un appareil photographique avec un flash Lumix extrêmement rapide dont l'éclair ne dure que trois millionième de seconde. Bien ue les prises de vues soient très complexes, ses travaux portent avant tout sur des phénomènes issus du quotidien, comme une cannette qui se brise au sol, ou encore une goutte tombant dans la cafetière. Mais il réalise aussi des photos plus expérimentales telles que celle-ci où l'on peut voir une balle supersonique devancer l'onde sonore... Il y a trois ans environ, la démarche artistique de Jacques HONVAULT s'est affirmée : il développe une approche transdisciplinaire pour contribuer à la philosophie humaniste. C'est justement en cherchant un moyen nouveau d'illustrer l'activité humaine que Jacques HONVAULT a eu cette idée : la « synthèse différentielle».

Rob Kesseler Extending the long and illustrious history of artists working with flowers and plants, Phytopia reveals a hidden world lying beyond the scope of the human eye. Working in the liminal territory between Art and Science, this extensive collection of images is derived from plant samples; pollen, seeds, fruit and leaves, creating images that lie somewhere between science and symbolism, in which the many complexities of representing plants are concentrated into mesmeric visual statements. Original samples are spluttered with a fine coating of gold and photographed on a scanning electron microscope.
