About
Nutscapes is a photo fad in which participants hang a pair of exposed testicles over the top of a camera frame in front of a picturesque landscape.
Origin
According to the "About" page on the Nutscapes Tumblr blog,[1] Philadelphia-based artist Clancy Philbrick[3] started the photo fad as a "community-bult web-based photographic project" in 2007.
Precursor
The combination of landscape photography and obscene language or imagery has been previously iterated through the image macro series known as Fuckscapes, which initially emerged on 4chan's /b/ (random) board as a parody of inspirational photo quotes and spread to Tumblr sometime in 2011.
Spread
On January 14th, 2014, the Nutscapes Tumblr[1] blog was launched. On July 3rd, Philbrick created the @nutscapes[2] Twitter account. On October 21st, 2015, The Daily Dot[4] published an article about the Nutscapes Instagram feed. The following day, Mashable[6] published an article about the photo fad, which included a statement from Philbrick about his views on the art project:
"I believe Nutscapes has great artistic depth because it touches upon both a low-brow vulgarity and a high-brow concept."
On October 23rd, the Nutscapes Instagram[7] feed was suspended for violating the site's terms of service. Meanwhile, BuzzFeed[5] published a compilation of notable examples from the Nutscapes Tumblr blog (shown below).
