BOOKS

Knowledge by Other Means, Lucian Moriyama, 2020. English and French. Cover screenprinted on marbled paper, images and texts laser printed, 56 pages. 26 x 20 cm.

I would like to suggest that architecture is also predicated on the casting of shadows. I am not speaking only about the shadows which fall gracefully upon a public space, but also of shadows falling in time. Let me explain. Imagine a light shining from one end of a timeline – the end labelled now – and a large object like a building, probably rectangular, placed a few centimetres earlier, in the 1950s, for instance. This shadow would blot out all history which preceded it.
