Perhaps, we take the existence of gravity for granted and remember it only in physics lessons, and even, perhaps, at the mention of astronauts and weightlessness. And what would happen if something went awry in the universal gravitation or it disappeared altogether? The assumption, of course, is absolutely fantastic, but for a change you can think about it. Together with the Japanese team Nam, for example.
Nam is a Japanese collective founded by designer Takayuki Nakazawa and photographer Hiroshi Manaka. Currently, the team already consists of more than ten members representing various fields of activity. Together, they are looking for ways to expand the boundaries in the world of visual art. “Our work is a mixture of design and photography,” says Takayuki Nakazawa. - We do not limit ourselves in genres or modes of expression, as we want to challenge a variety of methodologies. Overall, we create images with a fantastic atmosphere."
“Tokyo can seem like an energy city with a lot of information inside. However, it seems to me that nothing is really happening in Tokyo, because the energy in the city has only a few exit routes - there is no dynamic circulation here, says Nakazawa. - So I thought it would be interesting to express something fantastic using the urban space of Tokyo, uninteresting places, commonplace objects. It sounds a bit paradoxical, but it is for the above reason that Tokyo plays an important role in our lives and work."
Japanese writer Kotaro Isaka liked the idea of a world with wrong gravity so much that the guys at Nam created an image specifically for the cover design of his book "SOS no Saru (a Monkey of SOS)".

Only Dmitry Donskoy and Ivan the Terrible can compete with him.

Breaking the laws of gravity. Photos by Philippe Ramet
If you just show the audience the photographs of Philippe Ramette and do not explain anything, then, most likely, these works will be considered the result of the author's skillful handling of the computer - and this will not surprise us anymore. But one has only to mention that not a single image contains a single gram of Photoshop, and everyone begins to puzzle over the riddle: how did the photographer manage to get such pictures?
