Andreas Schmidt - The City

On his nighttime rambles through the City of London-i.e., its historical and financial heart-Andreas Schmidt (born 1967) documents the icy glamour of its epic-scaled financial palaces, in which empty lobbies, conference rooms and endless corridors proliferate. Schmidt's portrait of these eerily alienated realms restore the understanding that such environments, in their oversized grandeur, are very far from the civic good.
