    Florian Maier-Aichen’s images reinterpret landscape photography for the twenty-first century. Supplanting the expanses of classical vistas with futuristic tableaux, Maier-Aichen recontextualizes the romantic Sublime to reflect modern-day experience. Often shot at obscure angles or from aerial views, his estranged vantage points are both alien and familiar. Conceiving the representation of sites with a sense of dislocation, Maier-Aichen’s work addresses issues of globalization and virtual perception.
