Ground 0
Ground 0, Manhattan New York. A game of full and empty that displaces the viewer and investigates the gigantism of architecture and the loss of human figure in front of it.
In this image of ground 0 in Manhattan New York, the photographer tells about the hyper reality of space. A game of full and empty that displaces the viewer and investigates the gigantism of architecture and the loss of human figure in front of it; a kind of melancholy and loneliness which is opposed to the positive idea of progress. The photo is printed on photographic paper and applied on aluminum.
