Paul Clemence's latest visual essay, LANDSCAPE, GEOMETRY + LIGHT, showcases the distinctive architectural identity of Palm Springs, renowned for its midcentury modernism. His photography highlights iconic buildings by architects like Richard Neutra and John Lautner, while also focusing on contemporary designs that reinterpret modernist aesthetics. Clemence describes the city's unique character, emphasizing its whimsical geometric forms and vibrant colors. The series coincides with Modernism Week, celebrating the region’s architectural heritage. Through this work, Clemence explores the interaction of light, shadow, and the influential legacy of Palm Springs' architectural history.
Everywhere you look, there's a graphic quality to the architecture and the city itself-it's an abstractionist paradise. Let's just say, me and my camera were very happy!
Between the dry air, the palm trees, the bright light, and the stark contrast of shadowing, the place feels otherworldly-like another planet! No wonder it had such a draw for modern architects.
