Part of a series of works exploring early colour film processes, Austria’s Viktoria Schmid invites an alternative frame of reference to view America’s most overexposed city. The distinct buildings and their edges begin to lose their iconic sharpness, congruently everything that moves within and around the concrete begins to meld, adding a beguiling melange of the three distinct colours. The city remains fixed and immobile, yet teeming with vibrance and energy.
