Triangulation
LocationSan Francisco, United States
PhotographerSonia Melnikova-Raich
I was born in Moscow, where I was trained and worked as an architect before coming to the USA. When I turned to photography, my schooling in architecture remained present in my approach to camerawork. I am interested in exploring the abstract in the material world and feel strongly influenced by the art and architecture of Russian Constructivists and Bauhaus movement. “Triangulation” is a group of photographs I took of Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, with the emphasis on the triangular form as the object or composition and the mystery of perspective and geometry in architectural image.
