Estructuras Fantasmas (Ghost Structures 15)

Obra de la serie No-Estructuras

"En el caso de la serie No-Estructuras, los gestos radicales detrás de las construcciones revelan la historia y esencia detrás de su transformación, una narrativa que describe la cultura que da forma a la ciudad. Puestos uno al lado del otro, estos retratos se transforman en una ciudad paralela, una metáfora de la ciudad real." Otras ediciones de esta fotografía han sido expuesta en Ekho Gallery, Santiago y Velorose, Londres, y ha sido publicada en The Guardian, Archdaily, Plot, Panorama, Greyscape y Architecture NZ.

The series ‘Non-Structures’ presents London – and cities in general – as a spectacle of constant conflict, negotiation and flux. Capturing key moments in the life of diverse buildings, the images reveal a condition of transience, trapped as these buildings and sites are between the boundaries of architecture and ruin, planning and chance, process and product. The term ‘Non-Structures’ alludes to anthropologist Marc Augé’s influential work ’Non-Places’; this boundary condition, defined by an absence of identity, has lent its name to the series.

Using similar parameters of light, composition and scale, these ‘Non-Structures’ appear to be frozen in a specific time and context, as dysfunctional devices that question collectively the processes of change and the impermanence of the city. From the demolition of iconic buildings such as Robin Hood Gardens to various transformations of anonymous buildings in London, the photographs aim to unveil the unexpected and sculptural morphology of these ‘non-structures’, while simultaneously documenting the constant tension that exists with their surroundings. Can these ‘non-structures’ be considered involuntary works of art?

Beyond visual documentation, this series of images initiates a dialogue concerned with what type of future we want for the places in which we live, work, and pass the time.
