This morning, Ron van der Ende left me speechless with this. They are not pasted in Photoshop. They are not giant tapes. They are not even painted. They are bas-relief mosaics made with old wood cuts. There are more:
According to Ron van der Ende:
I collect old doors and stuff. Old painted wood that I find in the street. I take it apart and skin it to obtain a 3mm thick veneer with the old paint layers still intact. I construct bas-reliefs that I cover with these veneers much like a constructed mosaic. I do not paint them!
I want some of these so badly. [Ron van der Ende via Motherboard via Obsolete]

Amazing - what do you suppose is recorded on those ridiculously large cassette tapes? Quick, someone grab the elephant-sized tape player out of the jumbo jet storage facility and we can re-live the oldies.
Truly amazing work. What does he do with them after creating them? I assume they are not decorating the walls of his ginormous home? I agree, Jesus - I would love one of these, too.
