Land/Marks

At the very end of the 20th century, I traveled to New York City to photograph well-know landmarks; more precisely, I photographed the ground they occupied. I am interested in how we create layers of text, information, and most importantly, meaning on top of the land. For example, one of these images is from right in front of the World Trade Center. That location has a new meaning since the image was taken, but to GPS systems, it looks the same.
