LIVING A JUJOLIAN FILIGREE

The photographic series presented in this competition is a collage of various spaces from works by the Catalan modernist architect JM Jujol to show a unique single-family home that idealizes the feeling of inhabiting a house that coincides with the house that one is. In these small spaces of domesticity, the spherorama is the photographic mode that not only forces me to solve the relational problems of the non-monumental scale that residential living spaces enjoy, but also to create a poetic reading of the place that must be traversed consciously, where the stairs symbolize not only moving with intensity but also connecting rooms where the relaxation of movement implies being in places where unique moments are breathed. Unlike the Bauhanian “containers” of the Californian Case Study houses of the Eames, Koening or Neutra, the contemplation of an external landscape is not what drives the house configured in this series but rather an ontological journey inside each one where the images versify a living poem based on couplets where after contemplating an idyllic house in a museum-like and staged environment the itinerary from the bow window of the facade through a butterfly that leads into the interior of the habitable enclosure a series of spiral staircases that go down and up with various suggestions are interspersed with the rooms (living-dining room, chapel, master bedroom and terrace) where actions are induced that will surely and palindromically have no end.
