Private Bunker Series, the collection of photographs show a variety of residential houses shut-off from the outside world; their windows and doors nowhere to be seen.

There’s a surrealism and a beauty to these images. In many ways they feel claustrophobic – even horrific – but there’s also an elegance to be found in their minimalist forms and their obscure abstractions.

Carsten Güth studied architecture but now lives and works in Stuttgart as a designer. Recently he released this series as a zine and you can check out photographs of it on his blog.

Víctor Enrich



Estas imágenes que les presentamos a continuación son parte del trabajo realizado por Víctor Enrich, quien desde su infancia se ha dedicado a través de varias técnicas a crear imágenes de escenarios ficticios, vinculando siempre a las ciudades y a la arquitectura.

El avance en el mundo del software y las tecnologías de representación marcaron importantes cambios a lo largo de su carrera. Su estudio de la carrera de arquitectura los realizó pensando en que eran lo más cercano a su verdadera pasión de crear estos escenarios ficticios. Actualmente en su estudio se dedica cada vez menos a realizar visualizaciones para otros estudios de arquitectura y poco a poco se dedica a la creación de estas imágenes.

Estas imágenes intentan representar la figura urbana, aquella figura de una ciudad que es la resultante de permanentes adiciones y sustracciones de edificios y espacios, donde aparecen sorpresivamente elementos que pueden cambiar completamente la lectura que se tenía de ese lugar previamente.
Este trabajo requiere de mucho tiempo y precisión en cada una de sus etapas, y es sorprendente ante los ojos de cualquier arquitecto.

In addition to a wide spectrum of publications for international magazines, three books by him on China have been published to date: "Sitting in China” (published by Steidl, 2002) and "China im Wandel” (published by Frederking und Thaler,2001). Recently, Taschen published his documentation of the shaping of public politics and opinion making comprising his extensive collection of Chinese propaganda posters.

Wolf has been intensively concerned with the topic of vernacular culture for many years. His most recent work deals with the issue of the cultural identity of the city of Hong Kong.

Thames and Hudson will publish Michael Wolf’s new work "Hongkong, The Front Door/The Back Door” in 2005.
