 How does one blend in inflatable technology, kinetic sculptures and installation works? For that matter how does one come up with such a particular idea? Well, Max Streicher is the artist who had this inspiring vision. Truth be told, I'd love to try out his inflatable clouds.

[INSTALLATION] Gert and Uwe Tobias

 "Romanian twin brothers Gert and Uwe Tobias create large-scale woodcuts and sculptural constructions. They use the dark mythologies and history of their native Transylvania as their subject, bringing age-old folktales and imagery into the realm of the present.


The prints and sculptures make reference not only to skulls and monsters, but also to modern graphic design, ancient ceramic forms, camp Hollywood horror films, and abstract imagery. The artists’ multi-media installations explore the way in which legends are formed and how objects stimulate cultural memory." (source)
