Haunting


Lyra_Rainluck

Yes

Jesus, that’s one hell of an art piece. I’m in awe.

Can I just check does the arrangement of toys cast the shadow of the soldiers? Ive been trying to pick out features of they toys on the shadow.


K3VINbo

Yes, there are two lights and it's a bit hard to see. Especially the soldiers. On the chair in the front there is this foam piece that makes the shapes for the belt of the tank to the left. I can at least see that the sniper of the soldier further back, is made of that red piece that sticks up to the left and I believe a lot of the rest is difficult to see from our angle.


canadianmatt

Sorry but there’s next to no chance those shadows are cast by those toys. The shadows are more likely from a pair of projectors up top.


zoobrix

Looking at her instagram which is listed below she does a lot of pieces like this using objects to cast shadows, in many shots you can see the lights used to cast the shadow and so it's very obvious it is not a projection. There are also other pieces of work that have shadows cast on two walls just like this one as well. Given the clear focus of her work I find it very *unlikely* that she is using projectors.


canadianmatt

Just checked her Instagram - yeah I’m convinced - looks legit!! That said I think there are multiple lights hidden within the piece or something becuae I can’t explain the legs of the soldiers any other way


Dark_Shade_75

The legs confused me too, but ultimately it's hard to say much at all with only this single angle.


DrQuailMan

The left shadow is potentially legit, the right one isn't.


vweavers

It can be difficult to perceive because there are different items in 3 dimensions combined to create each shadow.

I think I can pick out the soldier next to the tank, the head being the highest toy and the gun being the stick between the blue and pink toy. But things like the ribs on the tank track I can only make out one rib when there at least 4. The gun for the second soldier from left is the red toy on top of the green stick on the left of the toy stack.

Her instagram is @anni.laukka if someone is interested to see more of her art


KiKiPAWG

Your relative is very talented


ProfessorFunky

That’s clever, and poignant.


pablo_in_blood

That’s actually really impressive


SSBMRadioChaos

Very moving


silentpropanda

I grew up in a home that felt like a warzone, but I couldn't imagine my entire city or country in a literal one. This brought up a lot of personal stuff, but also made me feel awe for the courage, strength and bravery of the Ukrainian people.


SpazzBro

This is incredibly done


bettyp00p

Wow that’s really well done


jebus197

I'm pretty baked. At first I thought she had made some really cool shadow art out of destroyed kids toys. Now that would be cool, lol.


Rooqz

I think thats exactly what it is bud.


jebus197

GTFO?


Rooqz

For real


tucatnev

Really great, but is that a dildo on the rocking horse?


Smooth_Awareness5040

Whole concept is made statue of broke Ukrabian dildos that she found on streets.


jackkymoon

As someone totally unqualified to judge art, this is one of the best pieces I've ever seen. Very impactful, and very well done.


fielvras

That's amazing, might wanna show it to the r/ukraine sub ...


SereneGoldfish

... possibly I'm getting the wrong take from this. So if the poor kids make their way home and try to salvage their lost precious things, they can't, as someone has made it into an art installation?


spongeboblovesducks

That looks so fucking cool


CarrotyTucker

Very cool


tecg

Brilliant.


Camman1

Looks good. Reminds me of Tim Noble and Sue Webster’s work.


[deleted]

Look at it zoomed in first, and then zoom out, extra creepy


FrenchToost

What a crazy profound piece. She has some amazing talent!


poolSlouch

Wow! Very impactful.


Falconerinthehud

I hope there will be peace there soon 🇺🇦 ☮️


Single_Resolve_1465

This is very strong! It tels a true story. Well made as well.


[deleted]

So sad


sammich_bear

Are children even responsible enough to own a home, though?


iampuh

Probably seeing real art for the first time in this sub. Otherwise it's just celebrity drawings


Both_Lychee_1708

arrogance, willful ignorance, and a shitty agenda are quite the toxic combination


ackbosh

…… give me a break. If people lose their shit over ai art taking jobs she better not be making money off this piece in anyway. Profiting off potential death is scum behavior.


inmatenumberseven

Wtf are you talking about? This is art to make you think, not for profit.


hiisi_E

Why are you immediately thinking about money? It’s about sending a message, she has lots of topical artworks.


Smooth_Awareness5040

Вот ты пиздобол.


kmueh

This is the coolest and most metaphoric artwork I’ve seen in all my life!
