Photographic Essay From John Hejduk to Nicholas Hawksmoor

摘要

The representation of space with photography is an inherently impossible task. This undertaking is comparable to the path of a traveller who seeks to grasp the horizon. The line of the horizon is intangible and unattainable just as an image can never completely depict a space. Photography is a selective view 'from somewhere'. This selection occurs by laying out four perpendicular segments in your vision of space. This allows observations to be specific and new relationships to emerge from the newly confined photographic space. This happens between forms, geometries, light, textures and void.
