Camilla Borghese (Rome,
1977) focuses on an “instant” of architecture, in which the subject transcends
the reality and sum of its details.
These architectural
visions understand their materiality and how to capture the particular Roman
light. Marble, travertine, and plaster communicate through the perfection of
details, design, and history.
Initially a faithful representation of the splendor and solemnity of Rome,
right down to the infinitesimal details of the building materials, the
photographs then surpass that reality. Thus, just when we think we really stand
in front of these spaces and structures, we realize that they have instead become
primary and substantial inspirations for an idea.
