Incredible sculptures that cast shadows reports
Really impressive these sculptures that I discovered via Pixel and Dixel. The artist is called Shigeo Fukuda and a specialist in optical illusions. With exceptional patience and ingenuity, put hundreds of small objects in an apparent disorder, but only apparent when illuminated because the "sculpture" from a certain angle, the projected surplus takes the form of a remarkably real object or scene.
Amazing what you can accomplish with a bunch of garbage
Human figure achieved with only cookware
In addition to these photographs of his sculptures in the page above you can find videos of other works, each more impressive. For example, this medley of spoons, knives and forks, which when illuminated from the right direction, casts a shadow shaped like a perfect bike trial:
For those who want to know more about Shigeo Fukuda, on this page you can find a brief biography.

Fantastic ... that reminds me that the Maya also hundreds of years ago worried about the shadows ... the pyramid of Chichen Itza casts the shadow of a snake alone in the Spring and Autumn equinox ... the Kukulcan serpent swallowing the sun and giving way to a new period ... we are talking about the year 600 AD when Europe was still thought the earth was flat, and the Maya had mastered mathematics and astronomy ...
Sensational
In my study tour Ribiera went to Maya and I visited Chichen Itza I explained what the serpent that forms on the equinoxes and I was impressed.
I know that during the Spanish conquest, many scrolls were burned probably containing both scientific knowledge that Europe took centuries to acquire, if they already have discovered all.
A real pity. Learn to not repeat the mistakes of history.
and as I put this to my E2???
perdon por el spam
Ha, ha, would be cool for example a sculpture made Tungstens E2. What would shade?
I think that shadows are a reflection of the desolate are objects manipulated by the artist man ... .... "understood as a work" ... ..
works are by Tim Noble & Sue Webster ...
