Obsesiones personales. Miradas acerca de la arquitectura, la ciudad, en un sentido amplio de la palabra.
A continuación un breve diagnóstico de cada una de estas obsesiones que me acompañan.
Apropiación: ”Acción y resultado de tomar para sí una cosa haciéndose dueño de ella.” Acciones que consiguen a través de dotar de un uso no programado un objeto o espacio, apropiarse de él.
Sociedad anónima: “Que se forma por acciones, con responsabilidad circunscrita al capital que representan”. Reflejo de estas sociedades, enjambres y colmenas formados por infinidad de individuos que desaparecen al formar parte de una colectividad. La arquitectura como anuladora de la individualidad.

ÉVA LE ROI’S “CONDITIONNEMENT” via Socks Studio
“Architecture is a history of borders. It materializes existing power relations through a clear delimitation of space. The surrounding structures impose onto us in an intrusive way in order to reassure, control, contain, seduce.
They reflect our lifestyle, conditioning it directly.
The city is both territory and population, physical environment and gravity of social relations. It is the interaction between the delimiting built environment and the conditioned social flow that should be studied to approach its reality. Open the envelope to look inside.”
(Translation from French by Socks)

OMEGA SUITES (1991-1998), THE ARCHITECTURE OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, BY LUCINDA DEVLIN via Socks Studio
Lucinda Devlin started in 1991 a series of photographs of gas chambers, injection rooms, electric chairs, and death row cells in the rural United States’ penitentiaries, entitled “The Omega Suites“, after the last letter of the Greek alphabet as an allusion to the finality of execution.
The purpose of this photographs is not to bring an ethical view upon the issue of death penalty in the States, but to focus on the environment where the process of capital punishment takes place.
“My personal view of the role of capital punishment in our society is not an issue in these photographs” states Devlin. “Rather, I have attempted to let the environments themselves communicate directly with viewers.”
The architectures of isolation, the sanitized chambers of life privation, are captured with Hasselblad cameras through long exposures, resulting in clinically sterile images.
