3D without the CGI: Greg Barth's essays on reality

As soon as we stumbled onto Swiss-based designer Greg Barth's 'Essays On Reality' site, we knew we'd found something special. Tantalising your creative tastebuds with sharp, in-your-face aesthetics, the artist has crafted some of the most inventive videos we've ever come across.

Essays On Reality is an ongoing series of short video art installations, influenced by the existentialist and surrealist movement, and inspired by socio-political and economic events from around the world.
