I wish I were near you
As with Yangtze, these images explores the emotional impact of large scale engineering, although with a distinctly American sheen of grace and sophistication. These beautiful artifacts of modern civilization are our contemporary colossi, managing to be symbols of both progress and alienation.

At home, our bedrooms are our inner sanctum, the safe place where we express our most personal emotions. By contrast hotel rooms provide a strange mix of privacy and entertainment. They are the backdrop for the broadest spectrum of human motives and emotions, from sight seeing to sex tourism; sales conferences to black market dealings; social gatherings to laying low; starting a new life or escaping an old one.
We expect hotels to be a home from home, to comfort us when we are most vulnerable. In this they cannot help but fail, and have taken on more sinister and fetishistic connotations in our consciousness. Whether designed for a specific niche or general market, Nadav captures and intensifies the inescapable surreality of the subject.
