The work of the young artist Marina Luna presents us with the challenge of understanding the limit between the traveller and the photographer. Her architectural background is as evident as it is welcome for this exhibition’s state of affairs. She brings us the transformative status of an architect who gives preference to art as her essential object.
The photographic work condensed in the title “constructed space” carries the fairness and simplicity of the clippings of global architectural places rendered by her through angles and compositions that explore the full spectrum: perspective, light and time.
There is no pretension to create complex compositions, obtuse angles or bold cut-outs. Instead, the investment in the compositional form so that its elements are clearly presented from the point of view of this flâneur, the photographer. One of the qualities that make themselves present is in the question of temporality captured by these somewhat silent images that seem to ask us to pay attention to a time that escapes from the hurried daily life.
They are images that incite the suspension necessary to what we call art today.
Marina Luna
Architect and urban planner graduated from Unicamp. She became interested in studying the language of photography more deeply in 2008. In 2010, she did her first professional work with architectural photography. In 2012, she took part in a Design and Photography course at the Libera Università di Bolzano in Bolzano, northern Italy. From this experience she produced her first solo exhibition "todo italiano", consisting of photos of architectural and urban clippings from Italy at the Hercule Florence Festival in Campinas.
