The project “Sous la lumière” describes modernist and postmodernist rhythms in the cityscapes of six cities of the south: Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo in Latin America, and Casablanca, Dakar and Tel Aviv in Africa and the Mediterranean.
The series searches for abstract beauty in facades mainly erected in the middle and in the second half of the twentieth century. During these years, steep growth and insatiable demand for new constructions gave modernism and later architectural movements an irretrievable gift.
The name of the work relates to a quote of one of the fathers of modernism, Le Corbusier, according to whom architecture is “a learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light (“L’architecture est le jeu savant, correct et magnifique des volumes assemblés sous la lumière.”)
The series is composed of 60 black and white photographs.
