Frozen Bubbles Suspended Below Abraham Lake

Abraham Lake has become world famous, especially amongst photographers. The artificial lake, which lies in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, is home to a rare phenomenon where bubbles get frozen right underneath its surface. They’re often referred to as ice bubbles or frozen bubbles.

What causes this to happen? As photographer Fikret Onal explains, “The plants on the lake bed release methane gas and methane gets frozen once coming close enough to much colder lake surface and they keep stacking up below once the weather gets colder and colder during [the] winter season.”

Though a gorgeous sight, this incredible destination isn’t for the weak or the weary. “Even though I’ve walked on a frozen lake before, Abraham Lake made me feel completely uneasy since the lake was not covered with snow,” says Onal. “Even though the icy surface was around 8-9 inches thick, it still scared the hell out of me, not only because of the fact that I could see all the cracks…and the darkness of the lake bottom through the glassy surface, but also [because of] the deep boomy, cracking sounds coming from underneath the lake’s surface.”

Markus Reugels has done some experiments with refractions in a drop . For this he has tested many maps; Markus wanted a satellite map, but it didn’t look so good. So at least he took this map.

Founder and Director of Art Is The Cure, Rich Simmons had a hugely successful show recently at London’s Imitate Modern. Here’s the video (and a very rained-on drowned rat looking me hugging him at the end) made by Imitate Modern.

Rich’s work has now helped AITC become supported by blink-182 and we are now working closely with the wonderful Mark Hoppus. Thanks Mark!

Water Wigs by Tim Tadder

“Water Wigs is a dynamic set of images using exploding shaped water balloons lit with a triad of colors, to create incredible splashes on the heads of bald men”

Using laser and sound triggering to capture the perfect moment where the water fits the subjects head, Tim Tadder is able to create fantastic wigs out of water balloons. Adding a variety of colours the photographs are transformed in to wonderfully absurd and humorous images.
