Beautifully bewildering floral photographs from Swiss/Danish artists Putput, and an ice-cream treat to boot

Date
27 July 2012

Putput are a Swiss/Danish art group bent on twisting their viewers’ perceptions of the everyday and concealing the extraordinary within the ordinary. Inflorescence takes household cleaning paraphernalia and plants them amongst various potted flora, causing an instant double-take that forces the mind to reassess the nature of its stimuli. Popsicles does the same, but in a much more immediate way, replacing the frozen body of an ice lolly with a sponge scourer. The photographs are simple, look incredible, and might actually make you stop and think about the limits of your own perception. But mostly they look incredible.
