Photographer and graphic designer Paolo Pettigiani, who we first learned about on Colossal, transformed New York City’s Central Park into a psychedelic dreamland with his recent cityscape series. The artist used an infrared lens to take some expansive shots of the famous urban park, which turned the green grass and trees into a shocking pink hue against an aquamarine sky. The surreal palette is at once sickly sweet and dreamlike, changing the way we view one of America’s most photographed places forever.
