Phwoar!!! It is rare nowadays (although the creative types are just everywhere!!) to find something absolutely jaw-droppingly amazing -- but look what I came across today while on yellowtrace. These are the work of Japanese artist Kumi Yamashita. Simple concept with ultra intelligent and manipulative use of lighting.




The one above is a permanent display at the Akiru Municipal Medical Centre in Tokyo. Yes, yes, yes please.
