Ah huh, i see lots of bits that look like long enough to be the forks. Its just photochopped. Thats still art these days?

See post #10.

Probably not a single light source. Remember he had ages to get it just right. Possibly built it from the shadow.

Definitely would have have worked from the shadow. All he has to do is cast a flat image and he has three dimentions to work in to block out the light and stop it from falling where he doesn't want it while leaving gaps for the light to fall through. Would take ages and a lot of careful placing but he could smooth out the shape by placing the components at different levels.

Truly amazing. That's got to be the hardest "medium" I've ever seen used - pointillation pales to insignificance and oils become mundane.

Amazing
But most important - how fast?

That's remarkably close to the caption in the book.

186 thousand miles per second and it's remarkably light.

AND IT'S DISHWASHER SAFE!

Obviously a man of independant means - I can't imagine coming home form work each night to do some more work on my fork sculpture...

Time to throw your hands up in the air in dispair and yell "fork it!"

The logical answer , but Nope - but quite amazing really:
Knives forks and spoons - 848 of them in a sculpture by Shigeo Fukuda (nice name)

Nah. I think it's a Photoshop whatsit.

It's a Beemer F650 Falco I do reckon.

But if it really is a sculpture made out of cutlery, then it's brilliant.

Dunno, that looks suspiciously like a two stroke shadow to me . . . you can see the start of the expansion chamber, and the engine is kinda short . . .

Or just another starving artist... AFAIK the malnourished look is still de rigeur for "serious artists"
