Empire State of Mind
A photo essay of cityscapes from United States
Experiencing the vastness of the American landscape cityscape, I am reminded of Rem Koolhaas ‘Bigness’: “Beyond a certain scale, architecture acquires the properties of Bigness. The best reason to broach Bigness is the one given by climbers of Mount Everest: “because it is there.” Bigness is ultimate architecture.” The coupling of urban with suburban locations reflects the dominant dichotomy of contemporary living, while the 2x1 format follows the panoramic feeling of the open vistas. Landmark locations, unapologetic of their strong presence, inviting us to connect - be it for a reason, for a season or for a lifetime, in search of the iconic and the genius loci.

The project fuses the boundaries between topographic/representational and expressionistic/pictorial iconography in its exploration of the integral perspective.
