Random City

“ If on arriving at Trude I had not read the city’s name written in big letters, I would have thought I was landing at the same airport from which I had taken off. (…) The world is covered by a sole Trude, which does not begin, nor end. Only the name of the airport changes.” Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities In a globalized world, are the cities becoming all the same? The relation between geographical places, cultural identity and architecture is what drives the development of Random City. In this series, pictures of different places are mixed together tricking the viewer´s eyes when trying to identify where is it from. Although the collage is intentionally evident, it is hard to tell where one place begins and the other ends. These combinations, sometimes carefully planned, sometimes random, highlight the idiosyncrasies of so many cities that have gone through a rapid growth or periods of colonialism that, later on, reappears in a spontaneous auto-colonialism lead by architecture trends and development desires. This is an ongoing project that has begun in 2015. Made by pieces that can be connected like modules, the goal is to keep it growing continuously, like an endless landscape, whenever I have the chance to go to a new place.
