Now on view at Sonnabend is a series from photographer Beate Gütschow created over the past five years. These black and white images are digital composites of various architectural landscapes photographed around the world and manipulated into original fictional scenes using only traditional dodge and burn techniques through Adobe Photoshop. Gütschow’s bleek vistas suggest a post-apocalyptic view that is simultaneously unrecognizable yet plausible. Her use of digital manipulation is both subtle and clever as she delivers these aesthetically captivating and thought-provoking images.
