The first UK solo exhibition of new and recent work by Luisa Lambri, one of

Luisa Lambri makes photographs and videos in Modernist buildings
when no one else is there.
'I depict places as if they were inhabitable, revealing their intimate
and emotional dimension .. I see architecture as autobiography, the
places photographed as self-portraits. I'm not interested in
documenting the architectural qualities of a building .. the
architectural qualities are present as an open and unsolved
question, a way to introduce a fictional narrative.'
Luisa Lambri was one of the star turns of last year's Venice
Biennale. She lives and works in Milan. This, her first solo exhibition
in the UK, brings together work from Mies van der Rohe's Villa
Tugendhat, and buildings in Italy, Lithuania and Japan.
'I take photographs in a rather traditional way .. but their visual
quality is somehow evocative of the electronic age. The immaterial
state of the light and its perception may recall the electronically
generated space, an architecture based on relationships between
abstract elements.'
