Italian photographer Luisa Lambri takes photographs of modernist building interiors devoid of people. Her work is a perception of geometry with subtle colors, many images appearing dominated by sober tones of grey, white and black. Unfortunately she does not have a website showing her own work. Rather, few of her images can be seen in various websites of galleries and art sites (artnet, Studio Guenzani, Menil House, photoarts) . Given the quality of her work, browsing through the sites is time that is worthwhile to spare. It is certainly disappointing, that only few images are posted on the web.

“I depict places as if they were inhabitable, revealing their intimate and emotional dimension … I see architecture as autobiography, the places photographed as self-portraits. I’m not interested in documenting the architectural qualities of a building … the architectural qualities are present as an open and unsolved question, a way to introduce a fictional narrative. I take photographs in a rather traditional way … but their visual quality is somehow evocative of the electronic age. The immaterial state of the light and its perception may recall the electronically generated space, an architecture based on relationships between abstract elements. - Luisa Lambri
