Back homeThis photo says so much about our culture. And I love that it’s self-referential–yes, it’s taken with an iPhone.
Continuing the . . . series? Perhaps.
As stated in reply to a question, I’m creating an allegory of technology through apotheosis of architecture, although I would say my reason for doing so is somewhat more convoluted. I’ve placed the viewer in an unspecific utopia/dystopia future looking back at an unknown (archetype) monument of human creation, surrounded by its immediate opposite—untouched nature. Both in their own ways seem the cleaner element. It at once shows both the opposition of human and nature (without humankind) and their possible eventual coexistence.
Or at least that’s the idea.
