If Manhattan were in the Grand Canyon

In his project Merge, photography artist Gus Petro imagines what the NYC borough Manhattan would look like if moved inside the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River.

In the end of 2012 I travelled to USA to experience something new. And it was something I didn't expect: emptiness and density.

'Merge' is the last part of a project series 'Empty, Dense, Merge' which explores two opposite feelings through the photos of places located in USA.

In this project two opposite places are merged into one: New York City, where, it seems like, everyone wants to live there, and Grand Canyon / Death Valley, which are unlivable.
