STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

> about the project:

Erotoarchitecture is a portmanteau coined for a photographic series inspired by improbable and asymmetrical architectural details of existing buildings. I have started developing the visual concept in 2012, after the positive response to a personal exhibition about the Swiss architect Le Corbusier. Being an architect myself, I presented to the public images that transposed, under a personal vision and the incidence of natural light, some specific architectural details that radically transformed the way in which the building was perceived. Encouraged by the extraordinary critical response to my Le Corbusier exhibition, I have pursued the concept of transposed and decomposed architectural volumes under a precise coordination of natural light even further.

Unified by the unconventional theme, my images talk about the spatial continuity, about fluidity, about surprising details, curves or edges, about perfection, but mostly about the sought-after imperfection of architectural forms and shapes. They speak of the choice of the onlooker to engage him/herself in a sensual dialogue with such imperfections. Zooming-in to certain details, the architectural remnants generate an archive of different frames, unified by contrast under a specific volumetric light. Such an archive turns to be an unexpected labyrinth of fortuitous passions, and, as such, transforms a public open-space into an intimate cloister of sensuous nuances. The lines that I’m encasing within a photograph courageously suffer a gradual transition, by the virtue of harnessed light, from orthogonality to curvature, from the beginning to the end of the series … The aftermath is in the eye of the beholder.
