Marc Yankus | “The Space Between,” Photography Monthly

Posted on

From Photography Monthly:

Photography Monthly: You’ve said that you don’t consider yourself an architectural photographer — what draws you to featuring architecture as a subject in your work?

Marc Yankus: I’ve always been drawn to the majestic details and materials of classical historical buildings, many of which are hidden from view, tucked behind new architecture. In these instances, I feel compelled to photograph the slivers of the old, of history, so I can recreate the rest of the building to make it whole again and restructure history. In my re-imagined vision of the city, the historical buildings are fully present, imbued with a hyper-real quality of precise, sharpened edges and meticulous details preserved in a soft, subdued palette. By digitally painting and layering textures, I silhouette the “figure” from “ground” so the building stands in calm, airy isolation for the viewer’s gaze.

On a recent trip to India, ClampArt’s own Marc Yankus, known for his highly detailed and slightly surreal images of New York City buildings, was able to capture a number of striking images. Prints of three of these images are included in the group show “Traces: Photographs of India” at Umbrella Arts.
