Japanese artists Tetsuya Satoh and Macota Murayama will exhibit their stunning work at the Novosibirsk State Art Museum in Russia this summer as part of the city's Festival of Contemporary Photography. Titled "Experiences of the Anomalous," the artists' very different but equally surreal works are meant to "turn the experience of daily things into something unusual or even frightening." See more of their art at the Frantic Gallery Web site. (Above left, Tetsuya Satoh's "Back Alley"; above right, Macota Murayama's "Chrysanthemum-vi-w.") From the Gallery:

Tetsuya "implants" in banal city landscapes metal figures, which reflect the surrounding landscape. Murayama creates "Inorganic Flora" presenting the images of different plants in the way they look like highly technical devices with electro-mechanical content. "Experiences of the Anomalous" offers to the viewers another look on usual things triggering their own experiments with turning ordinary things and landscapes into oddities.
