The Hirshorn Museum and Art Gallery is situated in Washington D.C. and a while back they held a competiton in which the only rule was competitors had to create something out of one piece of paper alone. Some of the entries are below, and they are amazing!

Julien Taylor

Julien Taylor is a French photographer with a difference. He takes hundreds of photos and pastes them altogether to for a photo collage of a scene. The outcome is similar to that of a fish eye lense but more artistic, Taylor sees it as a fusion of cinema and photography.

"I photograph as if I were making a film, then assemble the instants that permit me to tell a story in a single fixed image. This creates a new world halfway between reality and fantasy, playing with time and space to produce a fiction out of fragments of reality. "

Taylor made a project about the Parisian nightlife, through his warped lense, which is also quite interesting.

Polish Posters

Here are a few Polish posters, some from the Cold War era. They are very recognisable and were praised and admired in their heyday. Many of the social surrealist posters came across as very violent to me, the one above makes me cringe! The artists who create the posters during the early 1900s and onwards became known as the Polish Poster School. During those tough Communist years, the artists used their work as a voice for their thoughts on the state of their country, whilst trying to sneak through the strict censorship policy.
