Germini Towers


This is a photo of the Germini Towers by Elena Baroni. I choose to look at this picture because of the unique position and vantage point to the photo was taken from.  I like how the contrast of the photo makes everything black and white, with just small pieces of gray throughout. When looking at the photo I can’t tell the main focus of the photo because my eyes seem to wonder all over because of the spiral staircase. The image gives of the feeling of emptiness and it seems like the picture was taken the building was completely empty. I think the image may also represent a feeling of not living or the end of life, as there are no people involved and the photo was taken several stories up, as repulsive as that may sound ,a place where someone who was trying to end their life may think about jumping from.
