In his photo series “IMPOSSIBLEBUILDINGS,” San Francisco photographer Shalaco Sching creates images of floating buildings, flooded landmarks, and other surreal sights using just his iPhone and a variety of photo apps. Prints are available for purchase on the project site. For more of Sching’s photography check him out on Instagram.

The IMPOSSIBLEBUILDINGS series highlights the beauty of architecture, isolated against the backdrops of our countless yet unexplored future possibilities.

Capturing the sites of expeditions along the waterways of a 2050 coastline in a raft made from reclaimed 2 liter bottles bound together by hand-rolled twine. Voyaging through the unexpected aftermath of deep space expeditions. The nebulas of condos, protogalaxies of office buildings and clusters of intergalactic suburban sprawl. Transforming iconic sites and the known into worlds yet unseen.

Shalaco explores these worlds entirely on his iPhone through apptography. First taking a slice of his everyday world unadulterated and then manipulating it through various processes until reality becomes naturalistic surrealism.
