His series was inspired by Joseph Michael Gandy's watercolour 'Architectural Ruins: A Vision', commissioned by Sir John Soane, and includes new work imagining the Museum itself in ruins alongside depictions of Mar-a-Lago, the New York Stock Exchange, Chatsworth House and places from Landy's childhood.
