There are places that we can’t imagine what they’re like outside of their normal functioning, outside of stressful and confined situations, and it’s not because we don’t fit there, it’s because we don’t think about what this space would be like without anyone, when these people are all resting and it becomes a solitary place with no one and you’re free to wander around.
Not all places are beautiful, not all are “instagrammable” to get likes and followers without there being any story because a lot is known through a screen, but there are always places that only a few people know about, this is the case of the -1 floor of a hospital, it’s not comfortable at all, it doesn’t exist for the best reasons, it was created to help those who need it most but in some cases it seems to be forgotten.
Most of the images are of opposing areas on the floor, some connecting to others, various room layouts, colours, improvised places, but it’s important to have variety, it’s important to show various places even to compare the passage of time. There are older areas and you can see the type of wall, colour, door, style of corridor and there are others that are more modern, for example in terms of technology or architecture.
The opposite is the general theme of the project, it’s what you don’t see, where no one goes, what many people have seen and want to go through, but here the opposite of empty is not full because the emptiness itself in the image is what creates the situation and the moment.
