A loving and intense photographic approach
“Modern Barragán” is a personal book that unfolds and recounts multiple encounters the contemporary Mexican photographers Lake Varea have had with Luis Barragán’s œuvre since 2006. This books unveils photographic depictions of the architect’s work and private spaces as a tribute and a celebration, an anthem of love and admiration. While spending time in his private home, as enthusiastic aficionados enchanted by the elements with an anti-critic attitude, the game unfolds. In his house, the artists' quest was to get as close as possible, so close as to caress the walls and floors. The photographers measured their own bodies with his, sat in his chairs, opened his closets, listened in silence and kissed in the enchanted garden. The house is portrayed in daylight, under the light of the full moon, by street light, in thunderstorms, using flash and by rubbing the walls and floors with aluminum sheets to reveal its history through the textures.
