While most people tend to view a dip in the hot tub as relaxing, a group of Swiss adventurers don’t feel that sitting in a jacuzzi is anywhere near hardcore enough. These thrill seekers have spent the last ten years “extreme hot tubbing” in exotic locations around the world, amassing a following of equally insane people who seem to enjoy watching people get naked and sit in a tub full of frothy water in completely non sexual situations in exotic and dangerous locations.
From time to time we here at This Blog Rules like to get a little surrealistic. Don’t you? You may remember our post about Josh Sommers’ insane photo montages, the contents of which I think we can all agree were very insane indeed. Now Italian artist Giuseppe Mastromatteo has taken surrealism to a whole new level in his project called “Indepensense”.
We are all familiar with the fact that boxing is, well…a pretty brutal combat sport. Of course boxers get out in the ring completely normal and clean, and comes back all bloody, sweaty and gross. Danish artist Nicolai Howalt has started a project that he calls “Boxer” where he photographs boxers before and after they go to fight. Every photo is raw but artistic.
By using old paper waste like junk mail, old calendars, photos, postcards, etc, Sandhi Schimmel Gold is creating some amazing mosaic portraits. They have an up-to-date look with a nice splash of fresh colors. It almost looks like really expensive art that you want to buy for decorating your living room. As you can see the figures on the mosaics are mostly women that he has found from different advertising.
