This gentle trip from Viktoria Schmid surveys the architecture of Manhattan in a series of fixed-frame compositions, each exposed three times, through red, green, and blue filters. The city’s range of beiges, browns, and grays remain steady, while highlights and shadows splinter into geometric arrays of color. Out of the rigid structures, everything that lives, moves, and breathes appears tinted with color and in triplicate. The city becomes what it is – fixed, immobile, rigid and yet the background for this life, its underlying framework.
