Images of the same places, buildings and details are taken over and over again. For the most part taken without consciousness, just as marks of footprints on a map, which creates an endless, fatigued stream of architectural photography. The work “My eyes are not our eyes” wants the viewer to look at known architecture of our collective memory again to question: why did that building become a masterpiece? At the same time the consciously blurred photographs reduce architecture to the most basic shape in order to provoke a discovery of new traces and meanings.
