Channeling
Toshio Shibata creates photographic landscape works. His pictures are big and crisp, but unless the detail it's hard to find where and how the picture is taken and what is seen. It not only seems to be an intriguing blend of man made structures and nature, but the images also contain the photographic 'standstill', motion and a strong element of direction (which element is channeling the other).

Stanley Tigerman, The Titanic, 1978
Stanley Tigerman’s conceptual collage depicts Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Crown Hall for the Illinois Institute of Technology—which houses the School of Architecture—sinking into Lake Michigan. Tigerman’s work is a critique on the state of architectural pedagogy in Chicago and its environs in the late 1970s. By this time, the Postmodern movement was becoming a viable counterpoint to Mies’s Minimalist aesthetic and was being taught at other schools of architecture in the United States.
