INCREDIBLE pictures and video have captured the gravity-defying feats of one man who calls himself a rock balancing artist.
The amazing footage shows increasingly larger rocks being balanced on smaller stones at near impossible angles.
The mind-bending structures seem to abandon the laws of physics as the artist slowly but surely balances rocks in a seemingly unnatural manner.
They ask me how do I do it? Do I use glue? I think the beauty of this art is that it is an extremely delicate balance. This art is so fragile and temporary. I think of it like the life of a human so I decided to make rock balancing like a human.Kokei Mikuni, Rock Balancing Artist
The footage was taken in Yasukawa Valley, Japan by local rock balancing artist Kokei Mikuni (30) from At Yuasa-Cho.
To answer the question, Kokei does not use glue and rather relies on his skills to feel where a rock will be able to balance atop another.
“Nothing is impossible. What is essential is to keep trying to do something.”
