Artist recreates everyday scenes replacing people with peanuts - PHOTO

Nailia Schwarz, a Russian artist now based in Speyer, Germany, uses nuts to recreate everyday scenes including swimming lessons, walking the dog, avoiding a rain shower, and gardening.The results are stunning, somehow capturing the spirit of each individual nut, with each scene taking several hours to set up and photograph.Ms Schwarz came up with the idea after spotting other works of food art on the internet. She says she chose peanuts 'because they have character; you can see when looking at a peanut if it will be good for a dog, or a man'.To create the scenes she first searches through a bag of peanuts to find those that have character or look like they have a certain type of body language. Once she has selected the nuts to use, it is simply a case of adding props, such as wire for body parts.The peanuts are snapped using special lighting, before the photographer makes slight touch-ups using photo editing software.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
