The insignificance of man
Architectural spaces in a play of light and shadow form an almost surrealistic decor. Pure black-and- white images in which the photography of architecture begins to take on abstract forms, reinforced by the apparently disproportionate addition of man. Constructions and shapes, lines and surfaces photographed in sharp contrast to the insignificance of man.
