Phillip Johnson’s modernist architectural masterpiece Glass House lives on through the photographic work of James Welling in New Pictures 3: Glass House. With the effect of color filters in Welling’s digital camera, the light that constantly pours into the house gives the space a vibrantly ethereal glow. Hues of red, yellow, and sometimes the entire rainbow spectrum are used. What to the naked eye would appear to be reality is morphed and enhanced in New Pictures 3 into a realm of visual delight; a new perspective on an architectural site.
