Anja Bührer | Surreal silhouettes


Anja Bührer, aka Latoday, is a Berlin-based photographer and digital artist. Bührer uses her hauntingly beautiful aesthetic to depict a myriad of dreamy scenes. Bührer's conceptual photographs lie somewhere between dreams and nightmares, as though one is trapped in this in-between state of unconsciousness.
There's a haziness throughout her dreamed, souls, and street collections that somehow balance the familiar with the unknown.

William Turner | L'eruzione del Vesuvio, 1817

La drammatica rappresentazione di Joseph Mallord di William Turner (1775-1851) sul Vesuvio è una delle numerose iterazioni artistiche di eruzione di vulcani dalla fine del diciottesimo all'inizio del diciannovesimo secolo.
Turner visitò Napoli e salì al Vesuvio nel 1819; tuttavia, non ha mai assistito ad un'eruzione in prima persona e questa composizione probabilmente ha preceduto il suo soggiorno italiano.
