Even when they call the world’s factory their home, photographer Huang Qingjun shows us how incredibly little a select group of citizens have to their name.

More beautiful than scary, by Leanie van der Vyver
Humans are Playing God by physically and metaphorically perfecting themselves. Beauty is currently at an all time climax, allowing this project to explore what lies beyond perfection. Scary Beautiful challenges current beauty ideals by inflicting an unexpected new beauty standard.
The third in the series of Hermès Editeur by Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto, where fashion house Hermès invites artists to work on the iconic Hermès scarf. Hiroshi used polaroids to capture amazing colours of the skies.
I love the weldings, the bolts, the tension, the colours, the textures and the staging on these amazingly beautiful sculptures by Fabrice Le Nezet.
Austrian artist Tillman Kaiser’s repetitive, angular works hits me in all the right places.
I have always loved Azuma Makoto’s ethereal floral arrangements. His latest is a collaboration with Perrier-Jouët, whom, for the first time since Emile Gallé’s original design, has commissioned Azuma to create a new floral design for their bottle.
By selectively painting developer on photographs, Timothy Pakron creates surreal portraits that looks like they magically emerged.
Using the simplest materials of fishing line, plastic sheets and a glue gun, Japanese artist Yasuaki Onishi creates amazing reverse landscapes that seem monumental and fleeting at the same time.
Thomas Poulsom created these life-sized birds of Britain out of nothing else but lego bricks. Adorable! Want to own a set of your own? Simply go to the link above and support LEGO Bird Project! All he needs is 10,000 supporters for the chance to make these into official LEGO sets.
Annie Vought has either a lot of patience, or is crazy, or a little bit of both. Her work involves removing handwritten letters from their context, letting the letterforms, shapes and shades speak for themslevs. The resulting artwork, though carved out of paper, is surprisingly strong, even though it looks so delicate and fragile.
The Water Cathedral project by GUN Architects consists of inverted cones suspended from a wire grid to capture rainwater within a plastic bag. Water drips out of the bags that resemble stalactites at different pulses and speeds, raining upon the visitors below.
By artfully manipulating sunlight through a hole, and carefully positioned mirrors in a fog filled studio, artist James Nizam captures geometric beauty in stark monochromatic prints.
Tomás Saraceno makes amazing bucky ball like structures with black string and lots of imagination.
Daniel Eatock cheekily combines two independent objects into a new one, and in the process, imparts a certain Dadaist quality into our everyday objects.
With some tinkering, Christophe Guberan coaxes his inkjet printer to print a special mix of ink and water, onto seeming ordinary paper. The magic happens when the water mix begins to dry and self-folding origami starts. This is one you have to watch the video to understand the process.
I love snakes. I love how they move, seemingly with magic. I love their bright colours and scaly skins. I love them even more when photographer Guido Mocafico placed them in boxes and made geometric sense of their chaotic twists and turns.
