ABOUT THE ARTIST

Mike Sanchez is a professional photographer who specializes in composite hyper-real photography of cities and their culture. He travels the world photographing cities and re-arranges them to create an alternate fantasy perspective. His photographs display the familiar feeling and initial glance of the locations photographed, yet they are of a time and place that do not exist.

"What is home? Is it the buildings we live in, is it the streets we walk, or is it our relationship with the people who populate these structures?

It is easy to get caught up in the act of daily life that our awareness of the structures and objects surrounding us becomes mundane. The once exciting and new city can turn into the ordinary day to day.

For me, this series is a way of re-envisioning the current perspective of the cities we call home. By deconstructing and rearranging architectural structures, roads, and objects within cities, I am attempting to draw attention to the unique and ever-evolving nature of the concept of home.”—Mike Sanchez
