Eyescapes: Photography of Human Iris by Rankin

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts on January 1, 2008 at 3:42 pm


"Eyescapes" is a series of photographs of a dozen or so decontextualized irises.

It’s a project by Rankin, London-based photographer and co-founder of the magazine Dazed & Confused (apparently, he’s cool enough to get by with only that singular name).

    very pretty!

    a couple of them were the same image, but with different coloring. i'd love to see the raw images these are based on - what the real irises looked like before the artist made changes.

    oooh how nice. I wish they could photo one of my student's eyes. The top of his iris is green and the bottom is blue. it's really neat.

    Not impressed.
    The page itself made me think "poor design", since it goes off to the side so far.
    Once you get to the end, you're thinking "Bunch of eyes. Who cares?"

    after a second or two, they start looking like little planets. staring at you.

    @ Alex

    Took me a moment to figure out what you meant but now I've gotten the giggles at work no less!
