Description
Summary:A journey that doesn’t come to an end “A journey that doesn’t come to an end”, is a small recognition to the life and work of the architect Rogelio Salmona. Although life ends, architecture is a legacy that does not pass with time and this is the reason Salmona will always remembered: an architecture full with intangibleness, sensations and events structured starting from the value of journeys without end. “Architecture cannot be appreciated through pictures” affirmed Rogelio Salmona; the picture, captures the image, an instant, a fragment, the text, is the representation of the thought and it demonstrates the different intentions that are behind each action that becomes matter. Through a photographic sequence for the Human Sciences Postgraduate Building at the Bogotá National University (1997-2000), a chain of images was built that were able to express the transformation of the words in architecture, it is here where the journey or rather wandering as Salmona well defined it, it becomes the tool to generate multiple relationships, perceptions and dualities: interior-exterior, inside-out, light-shade, closing-opening, closefar, natural-artificial; the journey resembles each other to a tape of Moebius in which is not known in what moment one is inside, and I how one goes out starting with subtle transitions or strong contrasts one goes inside again without realizing it.
