Fotógrafa de arquitectura. Photographic Archive. Mariela Apollonio

Mariela Apollonio was one of those selected in our series "10 Fundamental Photographers. On site". We launched an article about her work, few months ago. Now she presents us a more personal view of its work, an opportunity to learn more about this excellent photographer.

This exhibition brings together a selection of my personal archive of architecture photography developed during the past six years. All the photographs are professional architectural orders and are part of a group of images that tell about an architectural project or a phase of its development.

This selection of the archive is grouped into eight categories. Each category contains a selection of images organized by emotional and visual affinities or related to the memory proximities. Memories, fragilities, ephemeral, poetry, vacuum, ideas, mise-en-scene and fictions are a mind map and a subjective way to generate a route through my photo archive.

Photographic Archive (re)defines architectural photography as a powerful tool, self-conscious of the strength of this medium, an effective instrument for directing ideas and emotions, able to transform and suggest new and special relationships with reality. Therefore, Photographic Archive is, first of all, a definition."
