Beschreibung

Modern Barragán is a personal book that unfolds and recounts multiple encounters the contemporary Mexican artists Lake Verea have had with Luis Barragán's oeuvre since 2006. This book 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 of his house, the game unfolds. In his home, the artists' quest was to get as close as possible, so close as to caress the walls and floors. The artists 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 streetlight, in thunderstorms, using flash and by rubbing the walls and floors with aluminum sheets to reveal its history through the textures.

Francisca Rivero-Lake Cortina (*1973) and Carla Verea Hernández (*1978) always appear together as Lake Verea. Their extraordinary eye makes them one of the most surprising and versatile phenomena in contemporary art and photography. Their works are accordingly represented in the most renowned exhibitions and collections.
