The myth to reach the sky is as old as humanity, especially told in the myth of Icarus. It has become technologically possible in 20th century.
Architecture also embraced this myth as the new credo. Nowadays, the term skyline is used to describe this type of urbanism based on the vertical line. Skyscrapers became the symbols of the superpower of capitalism
With the vibrant red and blue colors which are creating a time lag impression, this series is questioning our vision for our future based on unlimited growth.
Watching these photos everyone can remember the 9/11 Event chocking images, the same stupor we should have about our own blind vision
Will we end like as predicted by the myth of Icarus ?
Displayed at the Xem/Sasa Exhibition in Phnom Penh, real photos are mixed with screen captures from a video game developed on purpose for the series in which the player can pilot a plane and crash it into skyscrapers into above real city maps.
