Household Objects Play With Our Perceptions

Created something like props from the now classic Disney film ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids‘, the ‘Macro’ series of Rómulo Celdrán takes everyday household objects like sponges and dish washing gloves and plays with our judgement of their true size. The objects are accurately reproduced on a grand scale, some measuring as much as 70 inches across, using polychromed polystyrene. He says his works “act as camera lenses, graduating the scale of measurements with which we perceive what we look at and break down the correspondence between the real size of an object and the size that we perceive.” His works remind us that life is all about perspective.

Known in some circles as the most amazing man in the universe, he once saved an entire family of muskrats from a sinking, fire engulfed steamboat while recovering from two broken arms relating to a botched no-chute wingsuit landing in North Korea. When not impressing people with his humbling humility, he can be found freelance writing, finding shiny objects on the internet, enjoying the company of much-appreciated friends and living out his nomadic nature. He is Managing Editor of Visual News. Follow his movements on Twitter:
