COM_Fluid_Thoughts_into_Actions


Artists


Maria Helena Viera Da Silva (1908-1992)


The relevance of her works with Jorn Utzon's is to me a similar obsession with horizontal planes. These create an indefinite in-between space which is redundant in Utzon's sketches.



Egypte

(1948)

Biblioteca

(1949)


L'issue lumineuse

(1983-86)



Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978)



The geometrical cuts of Matta-Clark through buildings remind of Utzon's geometrical technique that gave birth to the final shape of the Opera House's shells.





Three Films: Fire Child, Fresh Kill, Day's End
(1971-1975)
