18 photographs, limited edition concertina fold booklet, 18x168 cm; Cenon, le Grand Pavois, 2008

 

In a tower block, each floor has an identical layout. And yet, they are all very different. The camera was placed in the same location on each floor during different phases of the demolition of the building over a period of 6 months. To show the whole structure, 18 photographs were taken, corresponding to the 18 floors of the 55 meter tower block. This photoseries was presented in the form of a vertical, concertina folded booklet with a different image in each section. Originally divided as individual compartments, the appartments appear grouped as a single image. The folds show the passage of time and the changes of space during the demolition.
