Los Angeles-based artist @sterlingruby has created Specter, a fluorescent orange monolith which appears as an apparition in the desert. The bright, geometric sculpture creates a jarring optical illusion, resembling a Photoshopped composite or collage, as if something has been removed or erased from the landscape. Located off Snowcreek Canyon Road in Whitewater, California, the block acts as a cipher or stand-in, mimicking the form it could be — a shipping container, a military bunker, an unidentified object, an abandoned homestead. Fluorescent orange is traditionally used for safety, as a warning. Here that logic is reversed: a ghostly object, set apart from the natural environment, hiding in plain sight.

Photographer Nick Turpin captures cars bathed in the lights of Piccadilly Circus.
Autos is a series of candid photos of cars taken at night in Piccadilly Circus, illuminated by the 785-square-metre advertising screen that sits above the famous junction. What gave Nick the idea for this series? “Since having children, I’ve been aware of them being advertised to in public places, being made consumers from a very early age,” he says. “I wanted to find a way of exploring the omnipresence of advertising in the public realm. I noticed the advertising reflected on the side of shiny new cars and I loved the slick, colourful seductiveness, the idea of this shiny expensive product illuminated by the colours and logos of the brands we all know.”

Peter Hoffman is a Durham, North Carolina-based photographer, artist and educator. Drawing from his combined backgrounds in documentary photography and studio art, his work engages with diverse practices in image making. The images in Hoffman’s 2018 book, “Glass Corner”, were shot through the same window over the course of a Chicago winter. He explains: “The work is a meditation on surface, environment, gesture and color, with consideration to how the window paradoxically connects and separates people in the public space.”
