French artist Bernard Pras has been working with recovered objects for 20 odd years and specialises in a form of art known as Anamorphosis. He assembles a 3-dimensional collage of everyday objects that from close up looks like a load of old junk. He then photographs the collage from a particular vantage point whereby it morphs into a clearly recognisable subject. The photograph becomes the only remaining trace of the artwork.
Here you can see a comparison of some of his works vs the original subject.
