In der Geschichte der Architektur erscheinen die Städte Rom und Las Vegas in starkem Kontrast: Während die ehemalige Hauptstadt des Römischen Reiches als antik, vornehm und vielschichtig wahrgenommen wird, gilt "Sin City", die Stadt der Sünde, als schrill, vulgär und künstlich. Und doch befinden sich beide Städte historisch und zeitgenössisch an der Schnittstelle von Macht und Spiel.Fünfzig Jahre nach dem Erscheinen von Denise Scott Brown und Robert Venturis ikonischem Buch "Lernen von Las Vegas" (1972) offenbaren die Aufnahmen in diesem Buch ungeahnte Übereinstimmungen und Zusammenhänge der beiden Städte, aus der Luft bis zum Fussboden; das Spektakel Las Vegas wird auf Roms Strassen wiederentdeckt. Iwan Baans Fotografien kontrastieren und untergraben herkömmliche Auffassungen von Authentizität und Künstlichkeit und stellen solche polaren Kategorisierungen letztendlich infrage. Auf diese Weise erörtern die Aufnahmen Scott Browns und Venturis Plädoyer, zuerst zu schauen, zu verstehen und erst dann zu urteilen.
