I’ve always been very curious and have a relationship with paths…not only with the paths themselves, but also with ‘the edges of the paths’…it’s this story of the flâneur, the observer…and the edges of the paths reveal a lot of the paths themselves… this photo is one of those that I have collected from my collection, but it is a theme that I continue to photograph whenever I can.
from the project: [beyond architecture]
a homage to São Paulo City: a stone jungle
I always thought that my photos supposedly classified as ARCHITECTURE weren’t really ARCHITECTURE… essentially, I didn’t like them thinking they were ARCHITECTURE… and then I tentatively decided to call this exercise (wandering through the collection of several hundred photos) BEYOND ARCHITECTURE where I pair photos (as if on paired pages of an open book) that are actually of architecture while others that are not that show leading lines, shapes, volumes, marked contrasts between shadows and light, etc…
