Photography in practise
This is the result of an exploration on how photography can be used as a tool in the creative project of architecture. The spatial artifact produced was inspired from the photographic process and is a first step towards architecture.
Beyond the threshold
(reflections upon a sensuous void)
I´ve taken pictures of my home. Following my intuition;
Looking.
I´ve explored the contrasts and moods of light and darkness.
I´ve been fascinated by reflections and shadows, and the disorienting and surreal effects it can convey.
In many of my photographs, I´ve attempted to create a “cinematic tension”; The experience of an onlooker.
In seeking an “architectural generator” through the act of photography, my process has culminated in a fascination with the experience of the threshold and the distance behind. A distance perceived either directly; as an infinite void of light and darkness, or indirect; as a surmise of a hidden faraway.
Through the making of the artifact, I´ve explored further how a sequence of spaces and light-filtering surfaces can create this experience of distance, light and air in an otherwise limited architectural space.
