Power of Photos: Radical Remakes of Remarkable Places
Markus Georg has a talent for recreating extraordinary landmarks known the world over … in mundane ways with ordinary materials. Wait … what? Indeed, instead of setting up the standard shot that everyone who visits a place has come to recognize, he plays off our memory of these famous objects (seen in person or in photos). The everyday scenes he composes elicit a pattern-recognition response and challenge us to rethink images we have seen many times over.
