"Scottish sculptor Rob Mulholland
creates these eerie mirrored sculptures out of Perspex, a kind of
acrylic glass. The pieces create the uncanny effect of blending into
their surroundings, at times appearing almost completely camouflaged and
yet jumping out at you suddenly as your perspective shifts around them.
Mulholland’s largest installation of six figures, Vestige, is currently installed at David Marshall Lodge in Scotland." (via Colossal)

"Andreas Von Gehr: Re-Bio-Gehr" (via CollabCubed)
[source]
"Chilean artist Andreas Von Gehr
is interested in the interaction between photography, digital media and
painting. Much of his work involves his family and the theme of
immigration. His installation Re-Bio-Gehr, which was exhibited at Scope
here in NYC last month, is one such piece. Von Gehr fragments the image
of his father into 256 separate framed portraits with a young German
boy at the center base of each frame, his father in his youth (or maybe a
representation of his father – I’m not sure). The larger portrait
alludes to immigration in its typical passport or ID photo style." (via CollabCubed)
"Tremor Laquearia" Installation by Remon De Jong
[Time-Lapse of Remon De Jong installing "Tremor Laguearua"]
"Remon de Jong captivates his audience by capturing the essence of time in his art installation called ‘Tremor Laquearia.’
The room itself is part of the project where it seems everything
froze during an earthquake. The use of space is entirely used and it’s
like stepping into a room where everything is incorporated as the
project. Falling ceiling tiles are turned into still life objects where
it looks as if one is staring at a photograph. Dutch artist Remon de
Jong creates a feeling of being lost in time with this motionless
project.

Like the Tremor Laquearia project, De Jong’s specialized work of videos, paintings, music and sculptures often stirs up the theme of man’s relationship versus the environment. Check out the video to see how this artist created the crumbling ceiling effect." (Review by Kevin Young at Trend Hunter)

French town called Jaujac. It was made as a celebration of their arts

of the village to the rich natural surroundings. Magic pictures below

Cordol’s newest ephemeral installations comment on stereotypes of
people that confront climate change in different ways. Starting today,

artist will create work on the beach of De Panne in Belgium, as well as
in a local historic villa once occupied by Chalutier. For more info on
