Osaka, Japan-based Nobuhiro Nakanishi’s mesmerizing body of work entitled Layered Drawings is truly breathtaking. He photographs a scene or object repeatedly over time, then laser prints each shot and mounts them onto acrylic. Change is captured in each frame, and once layered, they become sculpture installations. The overall effect shows movement and the subtle passage of time.

This is really nice. I’ve seen it done horizontally before at museums, but not vertically. In the horizontal version you have multiple glasses with images behing one another that make up one picture when looking at it from the front. Each glass has a light, and the overall image would change as a light would get turn off or on.
