Beautiful ongoing project by Russian artist Leonid Tishkov and photographer Boris Bendikov.
“Private Moon” is a visual poem telling the story of a man who met the Moon and stayed with her for the rest of his life.
“Each photograph is a poetic tale, a little poem in its own right. Therefore each picture is accompanied by my own verse, which I wrote when I drew my sketches for the photographs. So it turns out that the Moon overcomes our loneliness in the universe uniting many of us around it.” - Leonid Tishkov

Beijing-based artist Wang Yuyang’s Artificial Moon may resemble the famous Waterford Crystal Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball, but it’s meant to be a magnificent recreation of Earth’s only moon. Constructed from hundreds of compact fluorescent lightbulbs and at over 13 feet wide, the massive moon even has strategically placed lights to mimic the real moon’s craters and surface features.
