Old, dilapidated buildings are usually an unsightly scene. In this case, however, miniature broken down houses are appreciated for being wonderful works of art. The series itself is based on photographs of abandoned structures neglected by man and destroyed by the weather. The photographs were taken by an amateur photographer from North Dakota, Ofra Lapid. They were then used to create small scale models.

Artist David Letellier‘s installation Caten is housed in the Saint Sauveur chapel in Caen, France. The strings-hanging-on-strings are controlled by four motors and the entire assembly moves slowly to the resonate sounds of an abstracted hymn. David studied architecture, and in his own words: “the curves of the wires, created by the gravitational force, reflect the shapes of the church arches.”
Non-Sign II is an installation by Seattle based Art collective Lead Pencil Studio located at the Canada-US border near Vancouver. The sculpture is made from small stainless steel rods that are assembled together to create the negative space of a billboard. While most billboards draw attention away from the landscape Non-Sign II frames the landscape, focusing attention back on it.
