Irons, oil cans, pencil sharpeners, razors – a plethora of everyday objects have been crafted into buildings to form this virtual steampunk city.
Toronto-based artist David Trautrimas created his Habitat Machines series from thousands of images. Sixteen thousand of them, to be precise, which he works on in Photoshop to create his weird and wonderful structures.
“I am an obsessed junk hunter,” Trautrimas says. “I feel a constant push to seek out the perfect object that I can then dismantle. This search has taken me from the treacherous to the banal, from lugging 300lbs of vintage refrigerator up rickety, century-old basement stairs, to scouring eBay and Craigslist for the ultimate find. In between are visits to flea markets, church bazaars, yard sales, auto wrecking yards, pawn shops, and neighbourhood garbage nights, all in the pursuit of inspirational debris.”
