Lookout Platform (Aussichtsplattform)

<p>Oliver Boberg constructs small-scale models of ordinary urban spaces and landscapes and then photographs them in such a way that they appear at once realistic and unknowable. Originally a painter, Boberg turned to photography for its mechanical ability to document the world, making snapshots as he roamed through seemingly unremarkable places like parking lots, underpasses, and highways. He then used details from these source photographs to render elaborate three-dimensional models. His final product is a photograph of the model taken from a singular vantage point in order to create the most convincing effect, presenting a depiction of a place so nondescript it could be both anywhere and nowhere.</p>
