The Equivalences scrutinise the details of architecture rendered chaotic by the effects of war. Lacking any notion of scale or topography, visitors have no spatial points of reference.
Through their use of the photographic image, the images explore ambiguous details and fragments. Freed from the confines of scale and situating topography, the pictured object is abstracted, challenging our way of looking at images as well as ruins and our memory of their presence in the city.
