ARTIST STATEMENT
"Starting from my photographic archives, in this work I dedicate myself to transit places and their architecture. Marc Augé speaks of transit places, non-places in which one cannot linger and in which there is only one specific way to use them. In the process of printing defragments the formal language of these spaces, which form their own non-place. The splitting and division of the buildings is based on the formal charkter of the given structure. The architecture dissolves, becomes its own condition." - Sebastian Grande
