Sydney Opera House, surely one of the most instantly identifiable structures on the planet, built in Sydney Harbour after an international design competition was launched in 1955 and received 233 entries, representing architects from 32 countries. The winner, announced in 1957, was Jørn Utzon, a Danish architect.
However what if Australia hadnt been colonised and Sydney Harbour never established. Its reasonable to assume another world city would eventually come up with a similar brief and in my reimagined version that city was Palm Springs which was also a playground for Mid Century modern architects.
Using an image I captured of the Opera House on a previous trip I knew it would work so well with this linear study shot in Palm Springs. Although I have moved the house across I have changed very little of the recorded scene.
