About the project
"Landmark City," Marc Yankus’ new photography installation at Grand Central Terminal’s East Dining Concourse, presents a selection of New York City’s iconic landmark buildings through a unique lens that uses digital collage. Yankus highlights the beauty of the city’s ornate architecture existing in a still environment by altering the spaces around the historical buildings, allowing viewers to experience architectural gems in a new and slightly surreal way. This series of images honors the buildings of the past and their landmark status, and in the words of the photographer, “their power resides more in the realm of sensation than explicit narrative … where imagination and documentation meet.”
The exhibition was generously sponsored by Griffin Editions and Kodak Professional.
