Photographed in total darkness, the radiant bright blue light produced by this material defines the shape of his head. Van Veluw&rsquo;s photo series are self-portraits, created and photographed by himself in a completely solo process. The work simultaneously suggests visions of primitive and futuristic humankind, in the archetypal language of fairy tales.<\/p><p>Of his own work, Levi van Veluw writes: &ldquo;The images that I make consist of often unlogical combinations of materials, patterns, colours, forms, with my head as the only constant factor. Each element is consciously chosen so as to affect a pre-determined transformation. By playing with the value of the each material and by using them for a purpose that was not originally intended for them, I construct within the image, in a very small way, a different perspective on the world.&rdquo;<\/p><p>All images courtesy Levi van Veluw<\/p><p><strong>Light II, 2009<\/strong><\/p><table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\"><tbody><\/tbody><tbody><tr><td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\"><strong><br><\/strong><\/td><td align=\"right\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/visualscience\/2010\/06\/08\/the-bright-heads-of-levi-van-veluw\/2\/\"><strong><span>NEXT<\/span>&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/25182_4nExy3yldb8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEXT&gt;The first image in this gallery of images from Dutch artist Levi van Veluw shows the result of van Veluw covering his head with light-generating foil.
