"State of the Empire" is part of the Surreal Scapes exhibition, a collection of original pieces created from real photos by Andrés Caldeh.
New York is the city of all cities, the ultimate metropolis for anyone who loves urban life, a place of constant evolution and endless possibility. This piece shows the exact same view of Manhattan, anchored by the Empire State Building, captured at two different moments: just after sunset, and hours later when night-time began. Shot from precisely the same spot atop Rockefeller Center's Top of the Rock, the piece shows a unique symmetry, as if the city appears to look at itself across a change of light.
This piece is composed by simply layering two real landscape photographs one on top of the other. No AI is used in any piece of this collection.
If you so desire, every piece can also be displayed flipped upside down, revealing another perspective within the same frame.
