When Gravity Fails

Salvadore Dali would be so proud.

The art duo of graphic designer Takayuki Nakazawa and photographer Hiroshi Manaka have developed a vivid, moving series of still images showcasing life, not in motion, but in explosion. 

Gravity is thrown completely out the window in this series of work, and a collection of household items and human subjects float in chaos.   Nakazawa and Manaka’s gravity-free art work belongs to the “Fantasy in Life” collection the Japanese duo have developed. 

“Our work is a blend of both graphic design and photography”, says Nakazawa.  “We don’t regulate ourselves with any genres or expression methods because we want to challenge various methodologies. We generally make images with fantastic atmospheres.”

Looking at this, you can’t help but think what life would really be like if gravity did fail us all. The detail that went into each image is so meticulous and perfectly placed that it shows a lot of thought went into this project. Most people tend to think that art isn’t about thinking; it’s more about the feeling and emotion. Well as you can see clearly in the “Fantasy of Life” collection, the brilliant minds behind this duo chose to go with their minds over their hearts.

Check out my favourites below or if you enjoyed this, the rest of their portfolio is a must-see.
