Phantoms

In the cycle ‘Phantoms’, I photograph lobbies of a big corporation in the heart of Manhattan. The lobby is a place of interest, anxiety, the excitement about the new or the gateway to the abyss of the unknown. I am interested in corporate lobbies as a gate to the hidden world of money and power. Photos become the material for a series of digital collages where the borders between material realm and ineffable space become blurred. To do this, I constructed each photo with fragments of pictures: Photos of splendid interiors and architectural details were cut and meshed with rendered 3D shapes.
