There But Not

Removing the buildings from architectural photography may not seem like something to celebrate in the age of Photoshop, but there is something appealing about the photos of famous buildings hand-cut by Mexican artist Jose Dávila, 90 of them assembled in the new book There But Not. Perhaps it's the choice of buildings – ranging from the Great Pyramids in Egypt to contemporary gems like Herzog & de Meuron's Dominus Winery in California (pictured) – or the way they are legible through the silhouettes framed amongst their backgrounds. Whatever the case, Dávila's appreciation of great buildings is evident. Not surprisingly, the artist trained as an architect.
