Photographer Peter Tonningsen called this series Flotsam & Jetsam because it is about useless or discarded objects connected to the sea; things that have been collected from the shorelines of Peter's island hometown.
This series challenges the traditional definition of photography. Made without a camera or film, all images in this series are made by direct scan of the objects on a flatbed scanner.

Reminds me of Stuart Haygarth and his Tidemark (2004) installation. He's a junk art/lighting designer in the UK. Dwell has a slide show of his work.
