This high-contrast monochromatic photograph by art photographer Brian Andersen transforms Copenhagen’s iconic Twister residential tower into a mesmerizing visual symphony of geometry, shadow, and continuous movement. By capturing the building from a dramatic upward angle, the photograph strips away its physical color to focus entirely on its sculptural essence. The stark, dark voids beneath each balcony create a rhythmic contrast against the bright, textured lines of the curving balustrades, turning a functional modern apartment building into an almost infinite, hypnotic architectural spiral.
Designed by the renowned Danish architecture firm Christensen & Co (CCO) and completed in 2014, the 45-meter-tall residential tower is a prominent landmark situated along Copenhagen’s Amager Beach Park. Its striking, rotational design is achieved by the subtle shifting of each floor plate, giving the building its signature twisting motion. This dynamic structure features over 450 meters of continuous, circular, hand-welded balustrades that wrap around the exterior. Situated directly adjacent to a historic, listed gunpowder storage building from 1779, Twister creates a captivating visual dialogue between modern Danish innovation and the area’s rich coastal heritage.
Brian used a manual focus Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 ZE lens to secure a pin-sharp image with no distortion of the buildings actual proportions and with great micro-contrast in the details.
