OCUPA

 

A critical view of a complex social issue in Peru: desert lands on the outer bounds of Lima are taken over by ephemeral architectures created to occupy a space of land.

 

This is a series made up of 5 correlative images that link architecture and their surrounding territory and the opposition between private vs public. There is a breakdown in the portrayed architectures from a solid volume to its final decomposition blending in with the landscape. On the other hand, a continuous meandering topographic line works as a unifying entity between the territory and the temporary structures.
