Notes on Architecture
Solo exhibition as part of FRESH VIDEO show series organized by Alarcon Criado (FullArt) art gallery.
Sevilla, Spain. January 2011.

“The building should be understood in the same terms as drawings, photographs, writing, films, and advertisements… the building is a mechanism of representation in its own right”. Beatriz Colomina

Notes on architecture project examines contemporary spaces and their uses. This work documents Barcelona’s Forum area by video panoramic views. This area of the city has a spectacular characteristic; a place that lacks sense of place and social identity. Forum area was built for the celebration of the cultural event “Universal Forum of Cultures” in 2004. Only 7 years after its opening, this place has become a global space without a defined social use. It is a place that takes the identity of the events taking place in it. It is aimed at music festivals, cultural events and business conventions.

This project consists of a series of moving images. These videos have an evocative slowness in which the action seems to be suspended, causing an intermediate effect between photography and moving image.
