The multiverse is infinite, space is huge, and the stuff floating about in it is pretty darn big as well. But just how big are we talking about? 3D animator Alvaro Gracia Montoya of MetaBall Studios showed us just how big some asteroids in our Solar System really are.

We’ve all heard about the mind-boggling events happening in Syria over the last 10 years. The rebels and the army advancing on each other’s positions. The terrorist attacks. The airstrikes.

However, recently I finally got the chance to get inside of Syria and see it all first hand.

To say Matthew Rolston is a seriously talented photographer is understating things somewhat. The celebrity photographer can list the likes of Beyonce, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie and even Oprah Winfrey in his portfolio. But his most recent photo shoot didn’t involve any celebrities or humans at all. That’s because he traveled to the Vent Haven Museum in Forth Mitchell, Kentucky – home of the infamous ‘Puppet House’. It was there that he found a wealth of retired & abandoned ventriloquist dummies – characters that were once animated sidekicks, now discarded objects staring blankly into space. His vivid and powerful work genuinely brings out the personalities in each figurine, looking at each you have a sense of what they might sound like and even how they might act. He’s collated all the images from the unique shoot in a beautiful new book titled Talking Heads: The Vent Haven Portraits. In the meantime, here’s a few samples from the book and shoot itself – creepy, fun or odd? You decide.

These days the world of cinema is all digitized, backed up and edited on countless blinking severs. But in cinema’s formative years (1897 -1915), such devices were a thing of pure fantasy, creating and indeed editing a film was an incredibly manual process. Much of the magic and techniques of those times have been lost…..but not entirely. Noted and late Italian film historian Davide Turconi managed to keep some prized artifacts from the world of film, collecting an astounding 23,491 film clippings during his lifetime. But time has sadly not been kind, with many of these 35mm nitrate film clippings damaged, degraded, warped and in state severe of decomposition. They’ve now been released to the public by Joshua Yumibe, who is charged with looking after with the Turconi Project.

The world’s population is living longer and as a result space is getting smaller. That leads to expensive housing & cost of living, but due to the discrepancy in income across many parts of the developed world, it’s often the poor who live in the most restrictive and confined of spaces. That’s never been more apparent in capital cities like Hong Kong in China, choking under the weight of 7M people living in a space of 426 sq miles. But stats don’t really put those kind of conditions into perspective, that’s why the Chinese Society for Community Organization have released these shocking photographs to help raise the public’s understanding and appreciation of the lives of those less fortunate. Spaces so small that every millimetre of space is used to stack, store, house or hide something and yet for the people living in those conditions, they are simply grateful to have a roof over their heads at all. What does it say about a nation, when the most disadvantage members of that society are forced to live in claustrophobic conditions similar to those of caged animals in a zoo? For many in Hong Kong’s urban jungle – that’s their reality every day.

French photographer & origami wizard Philippe Pétremant is the creative individual behind these rolled up bank notes that create a collage of some of the most recognized political figures in modern times. Using bank notes from around the world, he’s twisted, contorted & folded them together adding in a paper clip to keep them in place. The end result is a series of amusing portraits title Les Sept Mercenaires, that are as unique as they are ingenious. Although playful and subversive, we think Pétremant‘s true gift is being able to blur the lines between what is credible and what clearly isn’t….
