Miniature Condiment Landscapes

In his Strange World series, 26-year-old artist Matthew Albanese creates incredibly detailed small-scale models of emotive landscapes made out of unusually usual everyday materials.

One day I knocked over a tub of paprika. As I was cleaning up the mess I began to daydream and found I was playing with the paprika more than cleaning it up. I thought it was a great shade of red and it reminded me of Mars. So I figured I would bring Mars to me. I went out and bought 12lb of the pungent spice and created my first landscape - ‘Paprika Mars’.

Pictured is his ‘Martian Landscape’, made out of 12 pounds paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg, chili powder and charcoal.

Check out the process on his flickr. More of his work here.

Artist Wafaa Bilal has his back tattooed with dots representing casualties of the Iraq war as names of the fallen are read aloud. Names of Iraqi cities are etched into his skin, and the dots are placed near the city where each individual died: red ink for the American soldiers, ultraviolet ink for the Iraqi civilians, invisible unless seen under black light.

“We are talking about 100,000 Iraqis who have died and 5,000 American soldiers,” Bilal says. “They’re not visible. Many people don’t even know the number.”
