In and Out - Photographing Architecture
Selection by Sonia Perrin | 20 artworks
The history of architectural photography began between 1826 and 1827 with the world's oldest preserved photograph: "View from the Window at Le Gras," a heliograph by Nicéphore Niépce, its inventor. In the early 19th century, the daguerreotypes used at the time required long exposure times, leading architecture to become an inspiring subject that captivated photographers with its architectural curves and lines. Photographers documented the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the Paris Metro, and New York City skyscrapers, capturing the work of famous architects such as Le Corbusier and the Bauhaus movement. More recently, "urbex," short for urban exploration, aims to explore abandoned places. The resulting images reflect architecture challenged by the passage of time. They question human constructions and their ephemeral nature. Throughout the 20th century, photography evolved into a true art form. Although the image often faithfully reproduces the building, the artist's subjective perspective reveals atmosphere, plays with light, and becomes more abstract. The artist conveys his or her personal vision of a structure and its architectural elements. This selection invites you to discover these perspectives.
