Axonometric Projections as a Project: Drawings by Alberto Sartoris

http://socks-studio.com/2017/04/06/axonometric-projections-as-a-project-drawings-by-alberto-sartoris/

A relevant figure in the Rationalist movement, Italian-Swiss architect Alberto Sartoris (1901-1998) represented most of his projects in black and white or colorful axonometric projections. This choice of a precise representation technique is connected to his will to emphasize a rigorous geometrical control in the construction of a project. At the same time, axonometric projections avoid positioning the viewer in a specific position in space which would determine a privileged point of view.

Seduction by Cyril Porchet

Looking at the gorgeous, dramatic images of Baroque churches in Cyril Porchet’s series, “Seduction,” you might mistake the photographer for a religious man. But Porchet is more interested in the power the photos represent than the religious ideology. His intention was to explore the seductive power of display. What is extraordinary is how much you lose all sense of perspective and depth, such is the overabundance of detail.
