# Celluloidic Art These Pieces by Glak Love Deconstruct to Reconstruct By Sparix | Published 2011-04-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Deconstructed-Film-Negatives-Reconstructed-Works-of-Art References: [glaklove](http://glaklove.com) & [glaklove](http://glaklove.com) Glāk Love LLC, an art and jewelry manufacturing company based out of Atlanta, has developed a trademarked process to create fine designs the company refers to as Celluloidic Art. The name Glāk Love comes from the archaic Scottish word "glaik," which can mean either a transient glance or a complete fool. According to creator Angelyn Pass, "Glāk Love fits both definitions; It’s about falling completely, sometimes foolishly, in love with the transient moments caught on film." The process mentioned above, Celluloidic Art, deconstructs [used vintage film negatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-basics-ii) to create new images and [large-scale works of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miami-art-week). These works of art are then lit from behind using [custom LED boxed frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-curves). When the light shines through the deconstructed vintage film, you can catch a glimpse of the small details buried within each picture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Celluloidic Art:** Opportunity for artists and designers to explore deconstructing and reconstructing vintage film negatives to create unique works of art. - **LED Boxed Frames:** Potential for manufacturers and designers to create custom LED boxed frames to illuminate and showcase art pieces. - **Upcycled Art:** Emerging trend of repurposing old materials like vintage film negatives to create new and visually captivating artworks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Artists, designers, and art galleries can explore the potential of Celluloidic Art and upcycled art as a new form of creative expression and marketable artwork. - **Jewelry Manufacturing:** Jewelry manufacturers can incorporate the Celluloidic Art process into their designs, offering unique and visually striking pieces to customers. - **Lighting Design:** Lighting designers can develop innovative LED boxed frames that enhance the visual impact of Celluloidic Art and other illuminated artworks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Love-Inspired Miniature Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-in-a-bottle.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Candy-Like Colorful Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gele-series.md) - [Artisanal Artful Glass Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaanch-glass-series.md) - [Intersecting Dimensional Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diorama.md) - [Organic Illuminated Artful Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cages-mobiles-and-rock.md) - [Eclectic Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-eyewear-collection.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md)
