You’ve all heard about those hippy dopes who use trash to create “art”. Actually, it just looks like trash.

Well, here’s an example of piles of trash that are actually quite impressive.

I’m talking about this shadow art. Every pile of trash you see creates the shadow that’s also in the picture. This took me a second to figure out because the pile looks so different from the shadow.

I think that these are amazing works made by some very talented people. Looking at these without the shadow, you could never guess that there’s actually a figure lurking in there.

One of these pieces, HE/SHE, is a little tasteless, in that it’s showing a man peeing and a woman peeing (in shadow). Not really sure what the point of that is, it would be equally as cool without peeing…but maybe I “just don’t get it, maaaaaaaan!”

Anyway, if you can get beyond the peeing, the rest of the pieces are fine, and the technique to create all these works is impressive.
