Nebulae by  Fabian Oefner

What might look like a giant nebula or a distant galaxy at first glance, is in reality the glowing ends of a fibre glass lamp. 

 

The images were created by taking long-time exposures of several fibre glass lamps (exactly, those ugly-looking lamps, that were extremely popular in the 90`s) moving around in a darkened room. Afterwards, severeal images were multiplied in photoshop to achieve the density of such a structure.

What I personally like about this project is how you can create an illusionist space with such simple means, that are familiar to everybody.
