Architectural Sculptures
The
works by French architect Katia Lafitte clearly connect the
two worlds of sculpture and architecture. They stand on their
own and do not require much verbal narrative, as they seem to
radiate their own story. Each of these small scaled and
powerful works convey convey a sense of imaginary location, a potent
poetic impact. They all share an innate sense of place and
being. A
vernacular that belongs to Katia Latiffe's creative mind. The
architecture is conveyed
through rigorous and courageous
explorations of architectural forms, construction,
verticality. These expressive objects
are on one level pure yet rough and spontaneous, while the
level of control is very sophisticated.
Lafitte's results
are truly inspiring and question politically the realms of
architecture and sculpture, never embracing clearly the
of one or the other. A welcome input into the world of
architecture. OTh
