Damned lake in Tanzania – photographer Nick Brandt
Damned lake in Tanzania – photographer Nick Brandt.
- Any Animal That Touches This Lethal Lake Turns to Stone (article on Gizmodo)
There’s a deceptively still body of water in Tanzania with a deadly secret—it turns any animal it touches to stone. The rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical makeup of the lake, but the petrified creatures it leaves behind are straight out of a horror film.
Nick Brandt – Calcified Fish Eagle, damned tanzanie lake
Photographed by Nick Brandt in his new book, Across the Ravaged Land, petrified creatures pepper the area around the lake due to its constant pH of 9 to 10.5—an extremely basic alkalinity that preserves these creatures for eternity. According to Brandt:
I unexpectedly found the creatures – all manner of birds and bats – washed up along the shoreline of Lake Natron in Northern Tanzania. No-one knows for certain exactly how they die, but it appears that the extreme reflective nature of the lake’s surface confuses them, and like birds crashing into plate glass windows, they crash into the lake. The water has an extremely high soda and salt content, so high that it would strip the ink off my Kodak film boxes within a few seconds. The soda and salt causes the creatures to calcify, perfectly preserved, as they dry.
I took these creatures as I found them on the shoreline, and then placed them in ‘living’ positions, bringing them back to ‘life’, as it were. Reanimated, alive again in death.
The rest of the haunting images follow and they feature in Brandt’s book, available here. Or, you could go and visit for yourself—but keep a safe distance from the water, please. [New Scientist]

Tout animal qui touche ce lac se transforme en pierre.
Situé en Tanzanie, ce lac porte un lourd et mortel secret, tout animal quil le touche devient « pierre ».
Ce phénomène rare est causée par la composition chimique du lac, et les créatures pétrifiées qu’il laisse derrière lui sont tout droit sorti d’un film d’horreur.
Nick Brandt les a photographié, à découvrir dans son nouveau livre, terre ravagée, créatures pétrifiée jonche la région autour du lac en raison de son pH constant de 9 à 10,5 – une alcalinité très basique qui préserve ces créatures pour l’éternité .
Selon Brandt : J’ai découvert ses créatures – toutes sortes d’oiseaux et de chauves-souris – échoués le long de la rive du lac Natron dans le nord de la Tanzanie. Comme les oiseaux qui s’écrasent sur les fenêtres vitrées, ils s’écrasent dans le lac. La soude et le sel font que les créatures se calcifie, et reste parfaitement conservées.
J’ai pris ces créatures que j’ai trouvé sur le rivage, et les ai placé dans des conditions « de vie » , afin de les ramener à la «vie» , en quelque sorte. Réanimées, vivantes encore dans la mort.

Auguste Derrière, fleuron de l’absurde et du jeu de mot laid
Auguste Derrière, fleuron de l’absurde et du jeu de mot laid.
Les fourmis n’aiment pas le flamenco – Cul de… par AugusteDerriere
Au début du XXe siècle, Auguste Derrière a sans aucun doute été le fleuron de l’absurde et du jeu de mot laid. Il révolutionna l’art naissant de la publicité par son approche peu commune du slogan, puis devint la coqueluche de l’élite culturelle de l’époque, avant de tomber dans les sombres profondeurs d’un oubli auquel il est plus que temps de mettre fin.

claire-morgan – aerial taxidermy art
« My work is about our relationship with the rest of nature, explored through notions of change, the passing of time, and the transience of everything around us. For me, creating seemingly solid structures or forms from thousands of individually suspended elements has a direct relation with my experience of these forces. There is a sense of fragility and a lack of solidity that carries through all the sculptures. I feel as if they are somewhere between movement and stillness, and thus in possession of a certain energy.Animals, birds and insects have been present in my recent sculptures, and I use suspense to create something akin to freeze frames. In some works, animals might appear to rest, fly or fall through other seemingly solid suspended forms. In other works, insects appear to fly in static formations. The evidence of gravity – or lack of it – inherent in these scenarios is what brings them to life, or death. »

Her love of animals and their form, combined with a preoccupation with an imminent future where technology and biology are intimately combined, led her to create her ongoing series of modified animals.
By creating beauty within this supposed paradox, she challenges the concept of a world separated into the ‘sacrosanct’ natural and ‘vulgar’ industrial.

Check out Albano’s skincentric sculptures below, which transform our banal bodysuits into a glorious labyrinth of cellulite and wrinkles. Monstrous, animal and human, the works prove that skin is at its most fascinating when delivered raw.
Kate Clark, L’ animal est un homme inexpressif
Kate Clark, L’ animal est un homme inexpressif * et je reste dubitative de son travail, n’étant absolument pas fan de la taxidermie en général. [animal is an expressionless man]
Kate Clark is a sculptor who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Her work studies the tension between personal and mythical realms by creating sculpture that synthesizes the human face and the body of wild animals.

Kate Clark – taxidermie art sculpture animal / Human details
« Son concept est né lors de ces études, à l’université d’Ivy League, en lisant le livre « Becoming Human : Evolution and Human Uniqueness » de Ian Tattersall.
Elle s’attarde sur un chapitre sur l’évolution du visage humain. Cette partie du livre traite des changements spécifiques ayant eu lieu sur le faciès humain avec le temps tels que le visage imberbe, le blanc des yeux, les sourcils, … et en quoi ils ont permis de faciliter la lecture d’une grande variétés d’expressions faciales.
Ces oeuvres sont créées à partir de vraie peau animale. Pour la création des têtes, elle sculpte les visages de ces oeuvres de manière à ce qu’elles soient crédibles et réalistes.
Les sections de peau qui recouvrait auparavant le visage de l’animal sont rasées de leur fourrure et apposées sur le visage sculpté en prenant soin de faire concorder, par exemple, les cils et les paupières de l’animal avec le pourtour des yeux humains. Cette peau rasée rappelant, par son côté huileux et poreux la peau humaine pour plus de réalisme bien que les coutures et points montrent un travail de reconstitution. Il a fallu de nombreux essais pour qu’elle soit capable de trouver l’équilibre entre les traits faciaux animaux et humains.«

Portraits de Lita Cabellut
Portraits de Lita Cabellut «Je veux forcer les gens à regarder les gens, ils sont des figures caractéristiques puissantes. Je travaille l’expressionnisme, mais j’ai développé mon propre style. C’est une sorte de techniques de collage, combinée à l’huile. C’est une fresque. C’est la force avec laquelle vous peignez, comment vous utilisez de la peinture sur la toile, le toucher. Tout ceci est une combinaison de philosophie et de physique. »

The Spanish Lita Cabellut was born on 1961 in Barcelona, where she grew up in a poor Gypsy-environment.
Her work is closely intertwined with the memories of the old area of Barcelona, El Raval, with closeness to the docks, La Bocquerai market, Las Ramblas and Sant Antonie market, replete with pickpockets, street performers and of course, prostitutes.
After 13 years of street and orphan life she got adopted. In this new period of her life she discovers the Prado museum. She become amorous with Goya, Velazquez, Ribera and Rembrandt. One of her preferred statements explaining her passion is: « I married very young, my first marriage was with the art ». I can endorse this is the case of Lita.
She got her first exhibition on the age of 17 at the Town Hall of Masnou, Barcelona. At 19 she decided to change her native country Spain, for new challenges in the Netherlands, where she studied between 1982-1984 at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.
Nowadays, Lita Cabellut is considered as a painter with a unique pictorial language, using a contemporary variation on the fresco-technique and a immensely enjoyable, communicative and recognizable ‘Cabellut-palette’. Lita Cabellut’s ‘human-faced’ paintings are exposed all around the globe, in New York, Dubai, Miami, Singapore, Hong Kong, Barcelona, London, Paris, Venice, Monaco, Seoul and many more cities.
