Titled "The Toilet Diaries," Dutch photographers Gerban Grotenhuis and Marc Marselje have compiled a photo collection of all "the sh*t that you can do in a toilet." The photographers first discovered the toilet when they moved into what was formerly a bank and founded Ducktape Studios. Over drinks one night, Grotenhuis and Marselje got the idea to shoot a series of photos using the cubicles.
In the extravagant and humorously-staged photo shoots, the two use the toilets as a crane-catcher machine while buried under a mountain of stuffed toys, as World War II soldiers under siege, as pant-less news and weather anchors, as well as scuba divers, with one of the brother wading inside one of the toilets.
