Tim Noble & Sue Webster, an English duo who create unique shadow art from objects found in the garbage. 

Partners in life and art, they create illusions that seems like a pile of garbage without appropriate lighting. They collect rubbish from the streets and arrange them such a way that their shadow creates an illusion that cannot be conceived by looking directly at the pile.

Apart from regular garbage on the streets their art also consists of materials like studio debris and taxidermy animals. When they originally started, their art work was inspired by an Egyptian culture, according to which Gods could take form of animals, therefore their mummified form are offered back to the Gods. 

This is how Sue explains it "Tim's mum bought some kittens some years ago. The cats started bringing in their prey almost every day. We collected their remains in a box marked with a skull and crossbones, which we called 'Dead Things'. Soon we had a few hundred rotting creatures - mice, rats, voles, even a squirrel and a toad. Walking by the Museum, we were struck by Egyptian's use of mummification, their obsession with animals and animal parts, and how good a sculpture they were. And suddenly we knew what to do with our mummified animals."

As dark as it may seem, but it is their obsession with dead things that brought their strange art form lot of recognition and appreciation. Here are few images:
