This gentle trip from Viktoria Schmid surveys the architecture of Manhattan in a series of fixed-frame compositions, each exposed three times, through red, green, and blue filters. The city¡¯s range of beiges, browns, and grays remain steady, while highlights and shadows splinter into geometric arrays of color. This tension between consistency and change draws the mind toward one of the traits of modern New York which Schmid avoids: its glass-facade new construction.
Born in Austria, 1986. Viktoria is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Vienna. She is working at the interface of the cinematic and the exhibition space.
NYC RGB(2023) was screened in TIFF 2023. Her installations and films have been shown internationally.
