Bemerkung:
Widmung der Photographien a. Deckel verso.– Interested in architecture and construction detailing, Swiss photographer Veronika Spierenburg moved for three months to Japan. She travelled from south to north depicting the richness of textures, artifacts, traditional as well as modern architecture. In her book Oya-ishi – Oya Stone buildings of famous architects such as Kenzo Tange, Togo Murano, Tadao Ando, Kazuo Shinohara and Kisho Kurokawa are presented in the book along with folk architecture and natural landscapes.- Veronika Spierenburg was born in Schlieren (Zurich) in 1981. She studied arts at the Central Saint Martins in London and photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. A central aspect of her work is the point where bodies and architecture, movement and space meet, and she explores these connections with various media and performances. She is interested by the design principles of Brutalism and Functionalism, that lead to experiments about dissolving architecture’s supposedly rigid structures.
