Photographing architecture travel notebook

Rosetta Bonatti’s approach to photographing architecture is rather like a travel notebook: observations captured in the instant in which they are shot. Her work sees the lightness of repetition as the paradox of the transition from three-dimensional to two-dimensional. Hers is a free, rootless vision of architecture, in that she wants to put it back together in a new scheme outside of time. Her approach is cultural, using superficiality as a medium for understanding the true depth of the constructions.
Her vision of the urban context could be summed up in Oscar Wilde’s words: "It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances". To Bonatti all this happens in the city, for she is an observer of the city streets, where she judges distractedly through her visual lightness. She has a specific purpose, conveyed in her photographs: constructing her own personal aesthetic culture of the "façade" as representation of appearance.
