conceptualized by artist and artistic director Babak Hosseiny and directed by photographer Jeffrey Vanhoutte, the series O pipes takes the human body and turns in his own uncomfortable story.

The series sees the hands of his subjects attached to various locations on the body, reaching out with their fingers as if they have the mind of their own. Sometimes they seem to impede the person and sometimes they seem like natural appendages. Each one, however, looks like a gesture & mdash; they are hands after all. They illuminate the mood and mindset of each subject.

The project was created by Hosseiny, who was inspired after reading Ludwig Wittgenstein opening quote On Certainty "If you know it here first, we'll give you everything. "
According Hosseiny, it was this quote that spurred the creation of the series. He says he" imagined a series of drawings of situations where hands are only the hands but become the physical embodiment of obstacles, wants, and fears of individual."

You can see more work by these two artists on the website Vanhoutten and Behance page Hosseiny. You can also find some pictures behind the scenes that will show you how these effects were achieved (some images are NSFW, so beware). This is their first collaborative project, and they are currently working on a second.
