Everyone has different tastes when it comes to art. What one person thinks is beautiful, another person thinks is trash. It's all subjective. But one woman is pushing the boundaries, possibly for everyone, and creating self-portraits that are... let's say, unorthodox. Iiu Susiraja, a Finnish artist, takes pictures of herself in all sorts of bizarre and somewhat disturbingly provocative poses, using various household props and calls it art. Maybe this sort of thing does it for some people, but personally, after looking at these pictures, I'm just left very, very confused.

Facebook marketplace is full of interesting and unusual things for sale. Most of the time you can find the usual household items or clothes, from people just wanting to clear out their houses. But sometimes you can come across some true gems that make you question the sanity of the person selling them. They say one man's trash is another man's treasure and these pictures couldn't be more accurate. Here are some of the weirdest things found on Facebook Marketplace for sale and we're pretty sure they'll be available for a while yet. 

If you've ever visited a thrift store, you'll know that they're full of weird and wonderful things that people have donated over the years. And when we say weird, we mean really weird. Bryan Dickerson, a freelance content creator from San Francisco, decided to document all of the bizarre art that people found in thrift stores and started the Instagram account Thrift Store Art to display all of the treasures. They say one man's junk is another man's treasure and these pictures taken from "Thrift Store Art" prove how true that really is.

Wait...what???

Well...

Japan continues to provide plenty of material when it comes to bizarre trends. The latest? Vacuum-packed wedding photos.

Tokyo-based photographer Haruhiko Kawaguchi'songoing photo series will take your breath away, literally. Titled "Flesh Love", it features bizarre portraits of couples tightly encased inside vacuum-sealed plastic bags. According to Kawaguchi, it's a way for people to express "how close and in love they are".

The process involved is simple, albeit risky. Couples are first covered in lube to avoid friction with the plastic. A vacuum then sucks out all the air inside, sealing the lovebirds in an uncomfortable cocoon of love. Kawaguchi then runs to his camera to snap two quick photos before telling his assistant to open the bag. The pairs have to hold their breath for 10 seconds or more, before being handed a can of oxygen. A medic is also on standby just in case things go awry. Wow!
