„Unwrapped“ – Great Architecture Sculptures Made of Neatly Stacked Chewing Gum Sticks by Sam Kaplan
Der New Yorker Fotograf Sam Kaplan entwirft im Rahmen seines aktuellen Projekts „Unwrapped“ futuristisch daherkommende Architektur-Skulpturen. Das Besondere an seinen Arbeiten. Zum Einsatz kommen hier ausschließlich farbige Kaugummi-Streifen! Fast 500 einzelne Streifen der klebrigen Süßigkeit benötigt Kaplan für jedes einzelne seiner beeindruckenden Artworks. Er selbst sagt folgendes über sein außergewöhnliches Projekt: „I wanted to find a material that could be both repeatable and remain uniform. I also wanted a high level of malleability and after a lot of trial and error I landed on gum. I have always been interested in futurist and Mayan architecture, and this project was a way to combine both of those to make new forms.“ Einige „Unwrapped“-Highlights lassen sich direkt hier unten in Augenschein nehmen. Kuckt doch mal:
Commercial photographer Sam Kaplan‘s latest project, Unwrapped, transforms sticks of chewing gum into monumental structures, stacking the sticky treat in shapes that imitate architectural forms. Hundreds of pieces of gum criss cross and stand upwards to create pyramids, columns, and arches—held tightly together with support from super glue. Each image within the series received minimal editing, the final image coming from a single shot rather than one that was digitally combined.
