Anamorphic Sculptures
These sculptures are created with such mathematical precision that the image can only be seen as a reflection. To get this effect the London-based artist, Jonty Hurwitz, first scans a 3D object, then distorts it with a computer using π algorithms. His final pieces, made from steel, resin, perspex, or copper, have to be viewed next to a round reflective cylinder – only then do the objects come into focus.
The Hand of the Desert and Monument to the Drowned
Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrázabal has produced two giant hand sculptures located in strange places.

The work has a base of iron and cement, and stands 11 meters tall.

The photographs are taken after the liquid has crystallized on a slide and then shot under a polarized light microscope. Fascinating results.
