They faked it. How did they get the empty spaces between the legs? The trash pile has no such spaces.

@ Retrokatze: Before submitting this entry I searched for posts from the oomsa.com domain here on Neatorama and couldn’t find any. It might be that the same thing have been featured on another website though, and have been covered at Neatorama. Sorry if that’s the case.

Yea it was featured on neatorama before, but thats ok cuz its still awesome.
It’s not necessarily fake or photoshopped. The holes could be there in the trash but you would only see them from the angle that the light is shining through. In that case you wouldn’t be able to see the shadow thus defeating the point.

I agree with Chris A…This is actually possible if one had the time to do it.

I’m not bothered with the re-post (it’s a very neat piece of art – a good refind, GeekAlerts!) but I wasn’t happy with the linkjacked source. I think sites like oomza should be avoided when posting in the future.
Please edit the link to the original website when you get a chance, GeekAlert.
Here’s the previous post on Neatorama about Tim Noble and Sue Webster’s Dirty White Trash [With Gulls] 1998.

all the “photoshopped!” responses are dead wrong. this artist duo has been doing this in galleries and museums for a long time. many, many people have seen these in person.

“‘Bizarrely, it wasn’t inspired by [Noble & Webster],’ he says. ‘We did look at their work, but discovered that their art isn’t an actual cast of the objects in front of it – their images are constructed by a projection above…’”
