The project began as a photographic observation of urban structures over a period of more than four years, attempting to document the visual chaos of cable networks and facades in public spaces.

Shifting focus.

The architecture itself comes to the fore.

An investigation.
Documentation of urban surfaces and their internal order.

Starting with original photographs of international high-rise facades in their true colors—without filters or retouching—Florian Seidel developed a complex system that alters and partially destroys the structure of the images in their DNA without dissolving the motif as such.

In the further development of the project into the newly arranged collages, he digitally stacked up to a hundred identical photographs on top of each other – each one manually shifted minimally until new rhythmic patterns and structures condensed into a composition of their own.
In this way, each work remains photography at its core, but is simultaneously translated into a new visual language – between documentation, abstraction, and digital code.

Architecture as code.
Deconstructed. Copied. Stacked. Reconstructed.
