Japanese artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi's art works are literally separated into layers (e.g. extreme foreground, foreground, mid and background) and mounted with plexiglass acrylic. Due to this process his artwork finds a new found depth and becomes like sculpture. He says that he strives to 'produce art that creates movement between the artwork itself and the viewer's experience of the artwork.' We think he achieves his objective successfully.

Even though it looks pretty complex, this installation is actually remarkably simple. Designed for Moscow's International Biennale For Young Art, Stephane Malka made this installation from thousands of different sized cardboard boxes glued together,  and then painted them all a pristine pale grey.

We're quite fascinated by these fantastical sculptures by Japanese artist Motohiko Odani. Employing detail and an element of sci-fi, these were the only ones we could find that don't come with an R18 rating.

'Cigarette Ash Landscape' is an installation by Chinese photographer and artist Yang Yongliang that collages black and white photographs to mimic cigarette ash. The tip of the huge cigarette sculpture hangs vertically in the installation space, and when you look closely, you can see images of the city skylines layered upon one another. Yongliang's background in Chinese calligraphy and Shan Shui painting is unsurprising given the level of intricacy and detail involved in both that are also evident in this installation.

Post apocalyptic come deserted space land, these prints and paintings by Australian artist Jeremy Geddes have captured our attention.  Titled 'Cosmonaut' they were also used by the Bavarian State Opera to launch their new season. Available as prints for only $190 AUS.

There's not much that would persuade us to jump from a very high height into a swimming pool, but this clever slogan in a Wiesbaden, German public swimming pool might be just the push we need.

A look behind the scenes of photographer and blogger Scott Schumann - more commonly remembered for his website, The Sartorialist.

These growing grass sculptures are the creative work of mixed media artist Mathilde Roussel-Giraudy. Exhibiting at the Invisible Dog Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, these growing sculptures change every time you see them. The designer explains:



'The natural world, ingested as food becomes a component of human being. Through these anthropomorphic and organic sculptures made of soil and wheat grass seeds, I strive to show that food, its origin, its transport, has an impact on us beyond its taste. The power inside it affects every organ of our body. Observing nature and being aware of what and how we eat makes us more sensitive to food cycles in the world - of abundance, of famine - and allows us to be physically, intellectually and spiritually connected to a global reality.'

This is a classic example of how the installation space itself can lend to the credibility and wow factor of an installation. German artist Martin Pfeifle utilised the former imperial abbey of Aachen-Kornelimünster in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany for his latest Rotemartha installation. Created with long tinted film strips in six shades of red, the strips interweave throughout the abbey intersecting several different rooms. It's a nice juxtaposition of old and new, ornate and modern.

Artist Gianni Moretti uses experimental techniques to create his diverse range of work. With sculptural, drawing and installation elements present in his work, he likes to use an ancient technique called pouncing which simply leaves pigment exposed on the walls which allows a deconstructive element to take hold. His aim with his work is to tell a story of inconsistency and frivolity - in which he uses powder, textiles, paper and plastic to explore different potentialities and limits. We're particularly drawn to his dramatic sculptural work featured above that consists of black strips of paper on the wall.
