French street artist Sean Hart considers himself a poet (among many other things) and his poetry “is a weapon loaded with the future.” He paints large, existential-style statements in a condensed typeface on surfaces all over the world. His most recent series Shine (the blue and white photos at top) have an anamorphic quality, allowing his phrases to be read despite right angles and open doors in the center of the image. According to Hart all his works consist of paint, a camera, time and himself. No photoshop. No special effects. The works below Shine are from his series Yes Future from 2011, and the bottom image of a stabbed Tintin is from his series Parce Que!
UPDATE: One of Sean Hart’s recent interventions spotted on the streets of Madrid is over here on Escrito en la Pared.

South Korean artist Haegue Yang (aka Heike Jung), living and working in in both Berlin and Seoul, believes that there is “a mysteriousness and spirituality in the most banal things.” Her use of window shades in many of her installations seems to be proof of this. Presently, Yang has an installation titled Approaching: Choreography Engineered in Never-Past Tense (top five photos) as part of documenta (13) in Kassel, Germany through September 16, 2012. These artfully hung and motorized clusters of Venetian blinds have appeared in some of her previous works, but this block-long installation and its choreography must certainly be fun to experience. Earlier aluminum blinds works include: Citadella; Manteuffelstrasse 112; Escaping Transparency; Three Kinds; Yearning Melancholy Red and others.
Haegue Yang’s fascination with domestic items doesn’t limit itself to blinds. She uses foldable laundry racks, cans, cups and cup cosies, just to name a few, in her other more sculptural works.

“The photographs in Quantum Blink are composed of two exposures taken instants apart. The striped pattern is the result of masks placed in-camera, this feature allows me to blend two images together and at the same time keep them from fully fusing onto one another.”
