1) the room is dark so the only source of light is the laser.
2) the laser illuminates the whole mug + the places where it’s moving (thus the “wire frame” effect)

now i’m not saying i’m right, it’s just my theory …

What do you suppose is more likely, that

a) someone painted a cup exactly like the background, set it in the exact right location, then took a picture of their hand, then photoshopped the fingers to look transparent,

or b) that someone left the shutter open when taking a picture and playing with a laser pointer?

I’ll go with b. I’ve never made any images this neat, but it’s really pretty simple.

He also used a lazer pointer in a dark room, and let the flash go off just as he finished. It reminds me of picasso’s minataur.
