    Naoshima Island - Do not miss out on that if you go to Japan!

    Well, not exactly an art-piece per se, but this Japanese Island south of Okayama is an Art project/restort/museum, with hotel buildings and museums designed by Tadao Ando hosting works of Monet, James Turrel, Walter de Maria...
    The whole place has a mystical and magical vibe that is ineffable. Special honors go to Chichu Museum, the place is so awesome, it's like having an epiphany.

      I've been dreaming of going there since the moment I heard of it ! (didn't have the chance yet)
      It must have been even better during the Setouchi International Art Festival in the surrounding islands.

        [QUOTE=Stijn;316358]Alexey Titarenko
        city of shadows

        from his website:
        ''Major photo series include "City of Shadows" (1992-1994), "Black and White Magic of St. Petersburg" (1995-1997), and "Time Standing Still" (1998-1999). In those series Titarenko paints a bitter picture of a Russia (seen through the lens of St. Petersburg), where people live in a world of unrealized hopes and where time seems to have stopped.''''

        Wow Thank you...this is incredible....

                        those are great, they stand well as photos on their own.

                                Thanks nadir. It was only a Nikon D90 w/ the kit lens along with boosting the contrast/saturation ever so slightly in Photoshop.

                                The installation was quite photogenic on its own.
