Camilla Borghese at Spazio Nuovo

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.
