EXP3 Valley, MashUp and Concept



Concept came up from the MashUp: Constructing Spaces in a Limit Area


MashUp

Architecture in Hong Kong is extremely diverse and you can always find something new in Hong Kong. Since high population density in Hong Kong, there are endless feast of glass-walled skyscrapers. The uniqueness of Hong Kong's architecture is not becasue it has one outstanding masterpiece, but how different high-rise combine into one spectacular cityscape. But when you are surrounded by buildings on all sides, what do you see? It's usually assumed that it's the tall give them the edge. However, French artist Lamadieu Thomas takes claustrophobia-inducing photographs of urban landscapes through a fish-eye lens, framing the sky with rooftops and filling the negative space with playful illustrations. He describes his whimsical approach to art as an attempt to show “what we can construct with a boundless imagination” and a different perception of urban architecture and the everyday environment around us.”
