Danish artist Troels Carlsen is inspired by the human condition, specifically how art has captured human life over the last few centuries. I love that he uses old anatomical texts and illustrations as a base and inspiration for some of his pieces. He doesn’t just cut them out and use them as a collage, but rather uses them as his canvas. I suggest watching the above video on him to truly get a sense of his style.

If the mind is a reducer, shuffling through an endless stream of stimulus to arrive at the most pertinent information, these pieces are reflections and extensions of this process. As the viewer’s gaze enters and traverses the layers of images in each construct, vision becomes tactile, lending an articulated viewing experience and a space for the eyes to linger in each image.

Steven Alan and Ben Boutwell made this clever little short of themselves taking photos with a magical picture frame. It’s titled “Frame of Mind”.
