opus incertum

Robert Schlotter — Sat, 03 Aug 2024 09:29:14 +0000

In opus incertum – a term borrowed from Roman masonry, which consists of building walls from small blocks, broken tiles and a variety of bricks – Daniel Wagener questions the memory of time and place, and the social and functional transformations experienced by urban buildings.
opus incertum portrays a new reality, seeks to document episodes of urban construction, uncovers what lies behind the ostentation, reveals what is no longer seen.
opus incertum is also a tribute to the collective work and commitment of those who form society during the construction process, who ensure the transmission of methods and culture, and practice oral exchange in an exemplary show of solidarity, while remaining invisible.

Regenerating Permanence

The spaces we create have meaning. These spaces are surrounded or enclosed by structures that most definitely have meaning. What we tend not to recognize at first glance are the echoes of those who occupy and use these spaces. Still, they are there, they are palpable. Laura J. Padgett Laura has spent time in Frankfurt’s Westend Synagogue recording resonances, taking in the echoes of those who inhabit and use this place, making images between space, structure, spirit and time. Through her photographs, we experience what resilience can be and how it manifests itself in the presence of objects, marks and traces.

Antrum

In her book Antrum Rio Staelens showcases images of various „Lourdes grottos“ surrounded by their specific flora. As replicas of The Grotto of Massabielle, part of a Catholic sanctuary in the french city of Lourdes, the Lourdes grottos were re-built in the 19th and 20th centuries in various places, including Belgium. An artificial cave surrounded by a specific rock formation, accompanied by a niche for a statue of Saint Mary, sometimes provided with an altar, these caves represent an important place of local pilgrimage of Catholic believers. Rio Staelens: “Covered by mosses, ferns and rock plants, these sculptures have become one with nature. Often surrounded by exuberant exotic plants, a distant world that shows us the remains of a religious culture is evoked. Like the caves, which are reproductions and therefore a lie, the photographs project an image that is an illusion. A fantasy.“
