New York - Copenhagen
Temporary structures, closed down factories and demolished parts are all objects of a series of photos, which deals with the visual identity and potential of these overseen industrial structures and surfaces. Architectural objects, which function has been the generator for the form, and which aesthetic value has not been planned.
Through the motif and the capturing of layers and historic depth, the objects are being given an aesthetic identity and their functional story is being told.
Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Redhook are some of the areas of New York, which are going through a transformation from former industrial areas to residential and commercial areas. Factories and old storages have been left to be demolished, and only their space, structure and surface are now only left with the trace of use.
This opens up for the discussion about architecture today and the values within. It opens up for the idea of actually using these aesthetic and spacial qualities that already lie within, by reusing the structures as frames for new programs.
