This Photography Series Transforms the Interiors of Instruments Into Stunning Architecture
A grand piano transformed into a cavernous grand hall; a clarinet reimagined as a majestically bottomless tunnel—with individual names like “The Cello Once Hit By a Train” and “The Exquisite Architecture of Steinway,” a new series of photographs by Charles Brooks turns the oft-overlooked interiors of instruments into majestic works of art. And it’s not just classic instruments that the New Zealand photographer highlights in “Architecture in Music.” Others include an Australian didgeridoo hollowed out by termites, a 1780-era cello (which, yes, was once hit by a train) and a wooden flute crafted out of local New Zealand timber.
