CityScape – Copenhagen in 3 collages
CityScape is a collection of three collages that depict the most characteristic parts of Copenhagen that almost appear as separate cities within the city. Created by Daim Yoon, Mette Lyckegaard and Marcin Ignac, the trio used the pictures of the city as as a graphical landscape mosaic that represents the feel they have to them. The urban landscape of Copenhagen is flat and homogeneous so this more tangible side to it is shown in the chosen geometric that are all the same.
Programming environment Plask was used to dissect photos into pyramids which were then mounted on a grid frame. They used it for simulation, warping the photos, layouting the pages for print and making the laser cutter pattern. The piramids are stitched together using thread.
CityScape can be seen in the Republikken‘s new space.
