I’m a bit of a sucker for tilt shifting. Richard Silver takes picture-postcard images of ‘tourism temples’, places like he Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, the Acropolis and the Great Wall of China, then applies this unique form of photographic distortion to subvert the images into childlike, miniaturised versions of themselves. Mass tourism makes for the perfect subject matter, as the ever-burgeoning tourism industry turns well known landmarks into cartoonish cliches of their former selves.
