Funny things made by PHILIP KARLBERG










These works are photographed by Philip Karlberg, who is a swedish photographer. The artist has carefully positioned over a thousand wooden pegs on several boards complemented by strategic lighting in order to hint at the faces of well know public figures wearing sunglasses typical to their dress in his new series 'PIN ART'.  As we can see from the pictures, the effect of his works are very 3D, it's not hard to identify every famous faces including Lady Gaga, Elvis, Karl Lagerfeld, Je Dirais Jackie Kennedy, John Depp and John Belushi. Except the the way he arranged the wooden pegs, how the lights  illuminating the works also plays a very important role.The artist says"it was a real challenge to sculpt the faces of some classic wearers of sunglasses, it took me 6 days to shoot the six faces and around 1200 sticks were used'.
