‘Boomeritis’ is a reference to the pathology of the Baby Boomer
generation characterised by pluralism infected with narcissism.
These iconographic renderings of buildings and structures are set
out as portraits, standing alone, dominating the scene, seducing
with their forms. Their treatment is blurring the boundaries
between representational and expressionistic architectural
photography with the underline intention pointing towards the
material sublime. The subjects are taken from contemporary
examples of American architecture. The images are part of a
larger project 'Integral Lens - editorial and artistic architectural
photography' by architect and photographer Pygmalion Karatzas
from his 5-month trip to United States awarded by the Fulbright
Foundation Greece.
Multi-award winning architectural and fine art photographer based in Greece.
Divisare Atlas of Architecture ranks him among the top 100 architectural photographers worldwide.
