Sky and minimal architecture

The architecture is sublimated in the images implying spaces that should be inhabited but that appear here as tracks of a printed circuit board, united by a refined and linear design, through a work of photographic deprivation, subtraction and negation, to bring them back to a lexical sobriety, to an absence of structural noise, of stylistic redundancy. The shots are made almost unrecognizable by the estrangement of any visual disturbance and from everything that belongs to reality, cleaned and stripped of any contextual trace and excess of form. Thus stripped, these architectures appear “not deafening”, always illuminated by the light of heaven that becomes an aseptic background and is the silence that is responsible for enhancing the relationship between the volume and the gap perfectly stuck and proportionate to the extent of half to each of them.
