    This image plays with the boundaries between realism and more abstract schools like Precisionism and Cubism. While it’s a realistic image in the strict sense that it’s a straight, basically unaltered photograph of buildings, it deliberately omits elements that might distract from the abstract lines and and shapes that make them up. The black sky (aided by the IR exposure) and harsh, almost threatening diagonal shadows add to the unreal feeling.
