“The title Architekturfotografie is intentionally misleading, as the Swiss artist Bianca Pedrina is never concerned with the monumental or the grand whole, but rather with seemingly insignificant details, traces, and fragments of urban spaces and their architectures.
The appearance of the publication is equally modest: designed as a paperback, it stands in contrast to traditional photography books. However, it is all the richer in content: it brings together photographs from Taipei, Seoul, Shanghai, Pisa, Andratx, Sofia, Leeds, Glasgow, St. Anton, Colmar, Zagreb, Brno, and Mödling—allowing them to blend into one another without commentary. Texts by Michiel Huijben run like a red thread through the book, reflecting on the concept of boundaries that shape our relationships, both to our surroundings and to each other.”
A photographic series focussing on what some might call the mundane details or rough edges of streets and buildings, the artist shines the spotlight on these often overlooked corners of urban space and their hidden beauty and significance, with an essay by Michiel Huijben.
