Considering the the mayhem to follow, I find the skewed images fairly appropriate and unsettling- there isn't much peaceful about a world turned on its side... Likely, it was an attempt to use the medium of photography in a modernist manner to represent a break from the past- note that the modernist exhibition buildings are shown at an angle, while the older hotel is shown in a traditional manner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-55853862531604424842011-02-03T08:11:22.704-08:002011-02-03T08:11:22.704-08:00It reminds me a little of the Ministry of Peace in...It reminds me a little of the Ministry of Peace in Orwell's 1984.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-55165087403943720342011-02-03T07:53:00.021-08:002011-02-03T07:53:00.021-08:00Nagoya Hotel - I like the morphing of the onion/he...Nagoya Hotel - I like the morphing of the onion/hemisphere into a square base...:)Dorincardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919474118944557430noreply@blogger.com
