Wonderful exposure and composition. Great choice in DoF.

Who is the artist for this installation?

Is it simply upside down (rotated 180 degrees)? A very nice idea anyhow, I like it. And yes, nicely captured.

Modern art is often a closed book to me, but whatever subtext this installation has it certainly looks good as an image.

It would be interesting to also PS in some actual balloons. Might really make it look like the bricks are floating upwards. Regardless, cool concept and well executed.

Well done! Tuning the shot 180 degree makes you wanna look once more ;-)

Sadly, I do not recall the artist's name. Would have loved to give him or her credit.

Interesting image. Holes in the ozone cause gravity to fail?

I was going to make a joke, but I'm afraid it would go over like a brick balloon.

nice idea. If you can mislead the first impression - you push people to think for a sec - worthwhile by itself

That is a great idea! I am not a big fan of too much processing, and my PS skills are not great, but maybe I should try this
