Swiss visual artist Pipilotti Rist's work is often featured as video projections in installation shows, and one of her most inspiring works is I Want to See How You See (2003), which thoroughly blurs the line between everyday life and hallucinogenic fantasies. One of her most recent projects is from 2011, and titled Administrating Eternity which features two fixed and two moving projections of sheep, who are colored similarly to images captured on Kodak Aerochrome infrared film, which is a false color reversal film still used today by contemporary photographers Richard Mosse and UNLV MFA alum Sam Davis; infrared film is also used to capture images of aerial landscapes and vegetation growth. Much of Rist's work focuses on exploring female sexuality, identity, and reality, all captured through her innovative and unusual camera angles and color distortions.

Like Rist, New York-based fashion photographer Erik Madigan Heck pushes colors to their extremes in order to present a surrealist environment that appears to be simultaneously both delirious and poignant. Much of his work is for colorful fashion houses Mary Katrantzou, Etro, Kenzo and Ann Demeulemeester; however, even the New York City Ballet and the Metropolitan Opera have called on the artist to capture the on-stage magic of their performers. Please follow the links to view his photographic works:
