The ‘Impossible architectures’ photographs are part of a larger series entitled
‘Impossible Worlds’, started a few years ago, which is a long-term open-ended project
structured on three different tiers. The sequence that I’m presenting in this entry puts
under a hyper-realist intimate scrutiny several architectural images. The mirroring
applied to the original images accentuates the inherent dual nature of the subject and
creates a new potential space of self-integration, thus giving birth to new impossible
architectural disclosures. The reflected image is, in fact, a new-born architectural space
that enriches the world of the imaginary, highlighting the infinite possibilities to dream
on. The world of dreams, the most intimate of spaces, becomes a never-ending speculation -
perhaps a little Freudian, but nonetheless nourishing. It is not a haze, but a daydream,
within which different scenarios may be played-out by the viewer’s imagination.
