I spent a month travelling around the Land of Frosted Cornflakes hitting up 17 Ghery designs including his personal residence in Santa Monica (that was a bit awkward). It was only after I got to Cleveland and the Peter B. Lewis building that I realised that photographs couldn't really do justice to the dance of lights across the skins of the buildings, as such started to take video as well. Why dubstep (well if you want to get technical brostep in this case)? It's what most of the campers were listening to at camp that summer, that and one direction (I worked three months at camp Merrowvista in New Hampshire before heading on the cross country adventure) I'd never heard of it previously. Match made in heaven me thinks.
The story goes that Frank Lloyd Wright upon entering a Las Vegas style casino for the first time, remarked on the architecture with those same words. Maybe it's more myth, than any amount of truth. I hope my photographs give you that same feeling of disorientation and bemusement. The plan is to abstract the crap out of architecture I like and throw in non-academic, pop culture infused musings whilst I'm at it.
