Body as architecture, 2022-ongoing
back to main menu
Series of drawings and collages created as ways of thinking and fueling the research 2022_space reading (2022), which consists of a performative reading of architecture and town-planning through a gender perspective.
Drawings serve to think, explore and anchor the potential developments of this ongoing research. Drawings and collages bursted after a photographic image: that of Fête Moderne (1931) capturing the architects that at that time were building Manhattan disguised as their own buildings: architecture as a body. In that same event, which according to Rem Koolhas's book Delirio de Nueva York (2010) aimed at grasping the zeitgeist of the time, there was only one women participating: Emma Cohen, who was disguised as sink and faucet; another kind of architecture.
