Outlet by Vik Muniz

Vik Muniz is a Brazilian artist that creates a work, photographs it, and displays the finished product as the photograph. My perspective on Vik Muniz is that his works are very creative and intuitive. This piece to the right is titled Outlet, it was dug upon a large land mass by several large construction machines, then the picture was taken by Muniz from a helicopter surrounding the landscape. Another gallery of his that I found interesting was that of his work with "junk". He created depictions such as Saturn Devouring One of his Sons. He manipulated rusted metal and other random things in a large room to recreate this image through a different medium.
