Ricoh GR and the Fader ND filter

NutHouse Series

Can you live up the delusional space of your everyday life? That’s what I had in mind… and it’s still stick to mine today.

This particular exhibit as part of Venice Art Biennale 2013 intrigued me. I’m not looking up to the original artists and art’s title and intention, so obviously the credit goes all to the artists, but these are my photography impressions for the artwork.
