Brendan Fitzpatrick

Another artist who has done some stunning work using x-rays is Brendan Fitzpatrick

I also found his 'Mother' series interesting (it reminded me of this work from earlier in the year)

Fiona Pardington

An artist I have so far failed to mention...

Fiona Pardington, NZ photographer, DocFA at Elam. A major show of 100 of her photographs was on display at the Wellington City Gallery recently.

Her work has "a painterly quality that visually reference seventeenth century painting traditions as well as the 16th century vanitas traditions. The images are not only memento mori ['remember that you have to die'] in the provision of poetic signs of time passing and things dying - from dandelion clocks to gecko skins - but of cultures meeting across seas"

Aesthetically they are quite similar to my white-on-black prints (this is why Judy suggested her as a reference to look at.)

Henry Hargreeves

Henry Hargreeves (whose work featured in the NZ herald the other day) is a Kiwi artist who works with food items.
While conceptually simplistic, there are some witty ideas at play and his photo-series are all technically very well executed.

Artist Klaus Pichler Showcases Rotting Food In Still Life Series

The project, titled "One Third," takes its name from the 1.3 billion tons of food -- roughly a third of the total world supply -- that regularly goes to waste according to a 2011 study by the United Nations. At the same time, 925 million people worldwide live with the threat of starvation.

The images, beautifully composed but often stomach turning, are accompanied by statistics regarding the food's origin, time of harvest, means of transportation, distance traveled and its carbon footprint.
In a statement accompanying the work, Pichler writes about the disparity in food waste between industrialized and non-industrialized nations.

Nick Veasy

The Adobe packaging design that George mentioned:

These images were made by an artist called Nick Veasy, a photographer who specialises in X-ray imagery.

His website, and here are some of his works:

And of course...

'Contraband Room' by Taryn Simon

Tom mentioned this photograph during my crit today (Thursday 21/5) - a great point of reference in terms of biosecurity, documentation, travel, authoritarianism(?), x rays, mechanical screening, destruction, disposal, the idea of 'the forbidden fruit'...

Another film: "Revenge"... pop!

Insanely satisfying

"A real, non-manipulated photo of 98 different foods cut into perfectly little 2.5cm cubes.... Netherlands-based design studio Lernert & Sander ... transformed a wide variety of unprocessed foods (e.g. fruits, vegetables, meats) into tiny cubes and arranged them into a neat grid formation for this eye-popping photo."
