"Toren 1"

During the last couple of years I have worked extensively with black and white images taken with a pin-hole camera, documenting architectural modernist spaces. The images produced in this manner, show deserted spaces: the image of an urban landscape that seems to be a crossover between the maquete of an architect and an eery archeological site of "the near future".
It is precisely this "archeological" aspect, one of the main focus that articulates this project.

The images of these urban-scapes, which the photographer can only imagine during the long exposure times, as the camera obscura have no lenses or viewfinder, are the result of a concrete and saturated existence , where " time is actually form ".
I think it is important to underline the identification existing in this project, between the content -" the archeological ", " the sublime ", " the imagined ideal landscape " - and the medium used: the "Camera Obscura", the most primitive camera in the history of photography.
The impossibility of visualizing the image of the object photographed, implies the construction of a mental landscape by the photographer, which can coincide or not with the final result of the image printed on paper. The use of black and white photography, recalls documentary photography and stress even more how near-obsolete the traditional photographic medium has become in the digital era.
