"Ordinary architectural episodes" constitutes a critical look over the living of reference architectural spaces. On this architecture photographic project, the narrative portrays author buildings through a non-protagonist vision of the architectural work. Trying to invert the roles of its characters, the instant of the author work appears as a secondary one on the background, sending architecture to a false protagonism, caused by the vagueness and cut-out of its limits and by the presence of anonymous protagonists crossing the captured framework. Is there work without the mundane activities of everyday life? What is the importance these works have in the course of an ordinary day, equal to all others? This project represents an (un)concerned look over architecture, particularly over author buildings, in an ambiguous contextual logic between “appropriators" and “appropriated". People, trees, urban equipment or ordinary urban situations assume the leading role in a photograph which intends to criticize architecture. The "true architecture”, this way captured through a humanized vision at 50mm with an aperture of f/1.0, in a black and white 35mm film.
