Seeing ambiguity

Más información sobre el libro

In 1980, Judith Turner Photographs Five Architects gained international acclaim among architects for Turner’s distinctive approach to photographing architecture. This new collection features images taken between 1974 and 2009 of structures by 17 renowned architects, including Peter Eisenman, Louis Kahn, Fumihiko Maki, and Zaha Hadid. Throughout her career, Turner has focused on architecture, often capturing ambiguity where solids transform into voids, blurring the lines of positive and negative space. Her photographs present fragmented views of architecture, allowing subjects to be deconstructed and reinterpreted, resulting in quiet yet dynamic compositions. Architects have noted that her work reveals aspects of their designs they had never considered. By using architecture as a canvas for her creativity, Turner uncovers its inherent complexities. Based in New York City, she began her photographic journey in 1972 and has held solo exhibitions worldwide. Turner has received numerous grants and accolades, including an Honor Award from The American Institute of Architects in 1994 and a Stars of Design Award in Photography in 2007. Her prints are housed in prestigious collections, including the International Center of Photography and the Library of Congress.
