The series Mérida (1:500, 1:1000, 1:25000) explores the relationship of scale and abstraction. GoogleStreetView images are taken and compressed with various degrees. Streets of the old city center in the Mexican city Mérida can thus be observed over multiple blocks in one image. The results combine hundreds and thusands of images from StreetView in one single image. Colors, textures and sizes of the facades come into focuss while the mere buildings are being abstracted. |
