Sushi wrapped in shopping bags and beer frothing with styrofoam bubbles are among the unappealing images in Sweet Sneak Studio's Microplastic Photo Series that explore the impacts of plastic pollution. The Dutch design studio teamed up with photographer Morten Bentzon for the series, which features eight different foods that tend to contain microplastics — the sub-five-millimetre pieces that remain after plastic waste degrades.

“The roof of City Gallery Wellington is now home to a "kinda creepy" five-metre-tall sculpture of a hand with a face called Quasi, by New Zealand artist Ronnie van Hout. The hand, which stands on two fingers and features an unsmiling face, was winched onto the roof of the gallery yesterday by helicopter. It is scheduled to remain in place for up to three years.

The back of the hand features a face described by City Gallery Wellington as a "partial self-portrait" of Van Hout.” - Augusta Pownall Via: https://www.dezeen.com/2019/08/20/quasi-ronnie-van-hout-hand-sculpture-news/
