In July 2012, a few days after the Venice bienal opening I went to visit Carlo Scarpa´s Tomba Brion. I did two photo sessions, one in the morning, with a beautiful warm light (a typical light from the Veneto region) and one in the afternoon. In the morning session, I took the black and white photos, it was very quit and we were the only ones. Then I came back around 4pm, to catch a different light, a more strong, more bright ambient.
There was some noises from other visitors…and we stay until the closing time...
The complexity of forms and details in Carlo Scarpa´s Tomba Brion make it a space where we can feel time, or the passage of time and light. It is, as Scarpa wrote a place that could emanate a sense of formal poetry. And I like everything in it, the walls, the location, the relation with the “civil” cemetery, the water running thought different systems, the construction in beton, the geometric forms and the connection with time, live and death, the intersection in the two circles...
