Suburbs as Art
Christoph Gielen is a German artist who has a fascination with the perfect geometries of America’s suburbs, creating an exhibit piece documenting the most artistic among them. His art consists of high-quality aerial photographs of America’s suburbs, along with commentary on how artificial and unsustainable the suburbs really are. When viewed from a helicopter, it is an interesting contradiction to see highly rational geometric suburbs within the context of unplanned and unnatural sprawl.
Gielen notes, ''I hope to trigger a reevaluation of our built environment and the methods of its development, to ask: What can be considered a viable, ecologically sound growth process?''
