Arêtes
The architect conceives a space made of lines, angles, and volumes. Once the building is complete, natural light travels across its surfaces, revealing the junctions between planes. According to the intensity and orientation of the light, some edges become more pronounced while others soften, subtly transforming the perception of volume over the course of the day.
The series Aretes belongs to a contemporary photographic practice attentive to architecture and to the relationship between light and structure. Through framing and frontal composition, the images condense space into structured planes that echo the initial sketch and the guiding lines envisioned by the architect.
Through photography, volumes become graphic surfaces. Changes in light reveal an abstraction embedded in the building’s very construction, where the edge articulates the tension between two planes.
