NEXUS II

URBANIZATION Series 195 x 97 cm., mixed on canvas.

NEXUS II, why? In 2019, VKTR arrives in New York with a single intention: to explore its architecture through the eyes of someone seeking invisible connections. In just three days and after more than 700 photographs captured, the desired discovery arrives: the encounter between three architectural styles that define, each in their own way, the spirit of the city. That moment, that image, becomes NEXUS I, a photographic installation that reveals the intersection of time and form.

The foreground shows 1930s architecture, with its classic scrollwork and ornamental elegance. In the background, the verticality and glass of the 2000s. And in the background, the bold lines of the 1970s, with their steel and concrete structures. Together, without hierarchy or depth, they form a composition where time collapses and focal distance disappears.

That moment evolves. VKTR subjects the image to the same process that defines his work: digital intervention, technical reinterpretation, and subsequent transfer to physical format. Thus is born NEXUS II, a piece on canvas where each element—the moldings, the window frames, the beams—takes on a new prominence, in a three-dimensional plane, but with a flat, almost graphic interpretation.

The orange square that dominates the scene functions as a visual core, a tangible link between this temporal connection, just as in his work Satellite. From above, a bold line drops like a guide, like a ruler, marking the path toward what is to come.
