Description/Abstract:

A conversation discussing 'Nonsuch' and 'Nummianus' photographic works by Steffi Klenz. Both these photographic series explore the nature of the built environment , investigating how architecture is constructed, historically and idealogically, through its representation.

Both photographic series' 'Nonsuch' and 'Nummianus' unfold in urban places and buildings and uncover unexpected narratives and traces ofhistory embedded in the place. The series' present photographic images that are not reliant on human presence but that find their drama in allegory in the physical and architectural presence of the space itself: macro and micro meet, master-planning and regeneration strategies intersect with ordinary domestic lives. Both works indicate my strong interest in architecture focusing on the pluralism of perspective and ideas, presenting an interrogation of the seen and unseen systems by which these built environments are structured.
