Image samples sublimated in a process where photography becomes a common projection for depicting the reality of an object and ideas about architecture.
ARCHITECTURE OF IMAGE Samples document the planning and construction process of one proposed, unrealized building. The body of the exhibition is an image installation mapping the development of the image, where linear narration is reconstructed back into the form of a thought process and displayed using individual samples from different periods. The chronological sequence of the building's planning then recedes into the background in favor of the visual and mental connections of the process of constructing an image that seeks supporting lines of development.
PLAN X CONSTRUCTION The installation unfolds from its center into two parts, plan and construction, which are also two planes of the presented image, real and fictional. We could call the plane depicting the reality of the object the plan, and its thematic parallel in the linear narrative the construction plan. It relates to a real object, to the beginning, it is concrete, tangible, and presents us with an image of an intimate relationship with the object. The plane of construction (building), on the other hand, turns to the outside world, to the image of a found, unknown reality, which is further manipulated into an idea of the placement of fictional architecture. The principle of these main components is extracted in two separate images and presented separately from the installation as the current starting points of the problem. Photography, which is the primary medium here, becomes a projection for both messages, and the material shift to perforated prints also declares its own physical character in relation to real space.
