Symbolic American Time Lapses

Washington D.C. 'Empty America' Film Showcases the USA's Trademarks

The latest city to undergo the apocalyptic treatment from Ross Ching is the Washington D.C. 'Empty America.' The United States of America's epicenter has now received a lifeless approach to travel time lapses. The beautiful captures of the White House and other city focal points makes the video a breathless depiction of the country's capital city without life.

Ross Ching has taken over New York City, San Francisco and Seattle for his 'Empty America' series. Capturing a city without any life forms can be a stunning work of art. Filming Washington D.C. creates a connection between the patriotism of the country and the skillful artwork of Ross Ching's work.
