ARCHITECTURE – PLACES TRANSFORMED THROUGH TIME
2019-12-30The oldest surviving product of a photographic process, the first known photograph, View from the Window at Le Gras, presents a fascinating insight into one of humanity’s well-established curiosities early on in the history of photography, the importance of recording the constructed environment. Throughout artistic mediums, the subject of architecture has framed the narratives and developments of some of history’s most defining moments. The buildings and structures that encapsulate society’s stories are essential cultural manifestations. The ability to capture these environments, their transformation through time, and their influence as stages for human dramas to unfold become legacies of human achievement. With the advent of increasingly advanced photographic technology, artists continue to question the transformation and understanding of “places” through a temporal lens.
