UNORDINARYSETP DISASSEMBLED U.S.A.

Although the Since 2011 use as a creative tool Google Maps  as my favorit medium.
I made a amazing  virtual trip a long one years around the United States of America and produce final 25 collages.

 Then I designed and Published 2 books of this journeys and in October of 2015 they were presented these books to the British Museum Library.

This collage is the last in the series

and in the American journey. When I saw this intersection in Phoenix, it seemed like I'd arrived early in the morning bright light and little traffic. While I was looking for a bar to have breakfast, I came across a man who was walking on the street 'graffiti' and a lorry loaded with crisps, delicious, I was struck by inspiration! I created a visual vertigo thanks to the simple architecture of the neighbourhoods of Phoenix;

to add an abstract touch, I used a Los Angeles swimming pool as seen from the satellite for the sky. WOW!!

In this collage I created the kinetic image in its raw state, but the gaze has to be guided

according to the following instructions: first look at the yellow line in the foreground above the car,

then the cars on the freeway on the right, and then guide your gaze from the rear of the

bus to the front, and you'll feel like the bus is being propelled at high speed and trying to brake around the bend. 

chapter: BRIDGES

The fascination exerted by the San Francisco bridge was incredible, but too complex, so I reconstructed

a new stylised version and created a dynamic interplay in the foreground between the arrows painted

on the road surface and the cropped cars.

Then I added a contrasting colour of the sea in Key West with boats seen from the satellite, as if they were stars

After a series of collages of the Rialto Bridge, I decided to recreate a new three-dimensional perspective of the inner right side of the bridge. There's usually always confusion above and below the Rialto Bridge: a continual coming and going of tourists, steamboats, barges, and stalls. Due to the low structure of the vault of the bridge, only steamboats and barges pass underneath. But if that were not the case, so would the cruise ships that pass a few metres from Piazza San Marco every day in a passage known as the 'bow to the city'. Here you see a piece of ship on the right, while on the left there is white foam to evoke the incessant river traffic of the river couriers that supply goods to the shops of Rialto.
