Loren Nelson's photographs, always in black and white, show strange structures covered by large plastics. Halfway between construction sites, temporary shelters for emergencies and new facades, the images let us imagine a lighter, ephemeral and changing architecture.
These images resemble the powerful artistic interventions undertaken by Christo & Jeanne-Claude from the sixties on. The work done by this couple of artists, sometimes close to Land Art, is a poetic gesture that seeks to stimulate and alter, through large-scale interventions on built structures or natural territory, our usual view of the environment and our surroundings.
About a year ago we published Christo's last great work, Big Air Package, at the Gasometer Oberhausen in Germany. You can see the article about Big Air Package here.
