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.
