Views from the Field documents the spatial complexity of Walter Netsch’s late 20th Century Architecture through the photographs of Orlando Cabanban.
Each object recomposes and transforms the space of Netsch’s interiors into a multitude of views and illusionary spaces.
Through the layered interests and sensibilities of Walter Netsch, Orlando Cabanban, FreelandBuck, and gallery visitors, the exhibition highlights the ambiguity of authorship inherent in architecture and architectural photography.
The architecturally-scaled objects are designed, detailed and assembled from graphically-printed architectural materials: metal, wood, mirror, and cork.
The exhibition extends out research and design work on the history of architectural illusion in relation to the multiplicity and hybridity of contemporary visual culture and the emergence of flat-bed printing as contemporary building technology.
