Isidro Blasco, a Spanish artist who currently resides in New York, uses a unique combination of photography, architecture and installation in order to to explore physical and psychological terrains.
According to the artist, he has been taking photographs from tall buildings in every city he visited during the last seven years for the purpose of his project.
By using digital images and building materials, Blasco creates architectural environments and three-dimensional reconstructions of neighborhoods, producing snapshots of cityscapes that play with perception.
"My work recreates the architectural space of the whole or a particular section of the build space according to a subjective perception of this environment," Blasco explains.
"Only from one specific point, that is the point from which the images were shot, can we see and recognize the architectural elements the way they are in the real world," Blasco added.
