Hidden Dimensions (II)

Hidden Dimensions is a series of images of architecture converted into photographic sculptures. The re-imagined urban scenes invite viewers to reflect on how mundane architecture influences territorial, temporal, and personal dimensions, directing the way we move, think, and feel.

Walls, backyards, fences and signs are the subjects of my photographs. These often featureless, neglected structures, that we are surrounded by and take for granted, are the stage sets of our lives. Akin abandoned theatrical props, they carry a sense of impermanence and malfunction: family houses that are temporary havens for strangers, misleading signs, and fences that protect from nothing. Many of these structures have lost their original function and are no longer what they seem. They evoke a feeling of disorientation and futility. Combined they create a maze, that constrain both physical space and thought. In our routine, we stop paying attention unless a crack in the wall or a breach in the fence reminds us of their monotonous regularity.

I manipulate my paper photographs to build architectural constructions that would be impossible in the real world. The folds and cuts give the images new depth, allowing us to look beyond what is seen. Balancing the edge of the factual and the possible, my work attempts to break the walls we come up against and push the limits of perception. Hidden Dimensions encourages to take another look at the physical and social environment and rethink the architectural, aesthetic, and urban planning choices that shape our lives.
