A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Injected with a poison

One of the galleries that doesn’t get a lot of coverage is the Art Gallery.  It’s located in the culture section of the galleries, and is a showcase of artwork from many talented artists the world over.  Paintings, sketches, sculpture, and photography are just some of the mediums you’ll find there.  This example comes from photographer Ivana O. whose work you saw earlier today with the corset photo.

    Photoshop really downgraded this stuff from art to 5 minutes worth of clicking.

    Jay: Being someone who works in photoshop regularly, it takes much more than “5 minutes of clicking”. Yes, it does take more time if it’s done in a dark room or drawn or whatever, but it’s not the amount of time that makes something “art”. Keep in mind that there is also the whole process of setting up the photograph that has to happen pre-photoshop.
