Who knew that the humble, utilitarian traffic light could look so haunting—and beguiling? As seen through the lens of Lucas Zimmermann, they take on an otherworldly aspect, their red, yellow, and green lights casting an altogether ghostly aura that emanates like a very basic rainbow in a dark, foggy sky.
The Weimar, Germany-based photographer is self-taught and began the series over two years ago, taking to the streets at night and training his camera on what are normally overlooked and under-appreciated objects. But with a little magic, he has manipulated them into tableaus that suggest something sinister.
The empty streets are visible just as far as the signals’ rays’ reach, exposing bare trees and minimal side-of-the-road landscaping. But beyond that, who knows what lurks? — via Curbed

Invited by Walk&Talk festival to participate in its 6th edition on the island of São Miguel in the Azores, Moradavaga took inspiration from the rich sea life that exists in and around the Atlantic archipelago to produce a site specific piece of interactive art. Influenced by the stunning landscapes and the mystic aura related to all that concerns whale hunting (in the past) and observation (in the present) our mind wandered through old tales like Moby Dick, by Herman Melville, and 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne, and the presence of sperm-whales along the Azores coasts led us to devise a character, Vernie
the giant squid, that came from the depths of the ocean to serve as a communicative playful tool for passers-by of all ages at Portas do Mar in the city of Ponta Delgada — via Vimeo

Made from a combination of tangled and woven red wool, Brazilian artist Tatiana Blass‘ installation, Penelope
, flows inside and out of the Chapel of Morumbi in São Paulo, Brazil.
The installation was inspired by the Greek myth of Penelope, who was Odysseus’ wife in Homer’s Odyssey. In the story, Penelope weaves and destroys a burial shroud for her husband, in a tribute to the power of love and to weaving — via ArchDaily
Monte Palace was a 5 star hotel in Sete Cidades (São Miguel, Azores Islands) that open only for one year. It was a foreign investment that didn’t succeed and was unable to pay the suppliers. Soon after the closing became empty and now there’s only the skeleton left. These days it is a monument in the island against especulation and disproportion. From Javier de Riba on Vimeo

via: What Is A Real Aussie? Street artist Peter Drew tackles national identity in poster campaign
A street artist who raised the profile of immigration issues with his Real Australians Say Welcome campaign is at work again on a new project asking What Is A Real Aussie?
“It’s sort of saying to the audience: ‘Aussie? Is this what you think?'” artist Peter Drew said.
“Because this is the truth of our history.
“I think art should ask questions and I try to do it in a friendly way.”
Drew said he went through the national archives in search of images of past Australians and found images of the cameleers from a century ago.
“The cameleers were camel drivers, mostly from Afghanistan, India and Pakistan and they helped explore the outback and helped establish rail networks,” he said.
“They basically ran the outback for 70 years and not many people know they existed.
“The campaign is really based around one guy in particular and his name was Monga Khan.”
The Adelaide artist said Khan applied about 100 years ago for an exemption from the white Australia policy.
“I thought this guy’s portrait was particularly heroic … he can become a symbol for all those people who had to go through that process. I’d really like to make him famous,” he said.
Their body panels consist of a lace work of metal gears, their wind shields no more than mesh, their seats steel and the spaces under their hoods hollow, but these life-sized car sculptures still manage to look like they could fly down the street at top speeds at any moment.
