LA NY is a dazzling visual tale of two cities, Los Angeles and New
York, photographed from the air, shooting straight down at a 90
degree angle to emphasize the particular patterns of place and how
the urban grid adapts to local topography - and, indeed, how the
topography is itself adapted to human purposes. These two most
distinct and distinguished cities are revealed in astonishing
detail, as Milstein explores residential and commercial
neighbourhoods, parks and recreation spots, as well as industrial
districts and the infrastructure of transportation. Iconic
buildings and landmarks appear, but also the compelling geometries
of suburban housing developments, apartment complexes, commercial
hubs, entertainment and financial centres, as well as airports and
shipping terminals. His work combines architecture, science and
art. Using high resolution cameras mounted to a stabilizing gyro,
Milstein leans out of helicopters over Los Angeles where he grew up
and over New York where he now lives, looking for shapes and
patterns of culture from above, continually awed by the difference
between the aerial view and the view on the ground. His
topologist's interest emphasizes the abstraction of pattern and
reveals aspects of urban design and planning of both cities. In
addition to the urban topography, certain events and activities
have also been captured, such as the Macy's Day Parade and outings
at the beach.
