Manifesting a particularly architectural way of visualizing space, they reflect what the architects wish to record of their own work. In this sense, they are mementos for the architects alone. They depict the final state of the building before it is handed over to its owners, a kind of pre-occupancy survey. These cool photographs are not marketing for the building (that will be handled by others), nor are they a design tool. There exist no explicit rules for how they should look, and yet they conform to unspoken norms so closely that they could all have been taken by the same photographer. Why did they all look so similar? Who are they for? And what purpose do they serve? The images presented a genre without a manifesto, or even a name. The pictures presented a research problem, or perhaps rather a puzzle: the more that the pictures were examined, the stranger they seemed. 1 The name of the sequence is based on a skit from the comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm, in which Larry refuses to go on Susie’s house tour, because he thinks they’re predictable (“bedrooms, bathrooms, I get it”), and in the process, just as predictably upsets his host.
FLUX PAVILION TOUR 2018 ARCHIVE
These photos, which as an archive go by the nickname “the house tour,” were collected from the websites of practicing Swiss architects and then collated by Alessandro Bosshard, Li Tavor, Matthew van der Ploeg, and Ani Vihervaara, the curators of this year’s Swiss Pavilion, Svizzera 240: House Tour, at the Venice Biennale, before being sequenced into a visual essay by the graphic designer Martin Stoecklin. As you flick, or scroll, through the pictures, you move from room to room in your imagination, but you never leave the building. Cumulatively, the photographs convey the feeling of being in a labyrinth, or a first-person shooter for existentialists. There’s often a doorway in front of you, and it’s usually slightly ajar. Rather than on the void, the emphasis seems to be on thresholds, on openings. These are not studies of the geometry of empty spaces, because the images don’t encompass the whole room, but only reveal one corner at a time. The emptiness of the room is not the “subject” of these photographs, exactly. You are used to seeing 90° corners splayed out by wide angle lenses, but these odd angles are no artefact of perspective: these are spaces that are no longer exclusively defined by right angles, and abandoning that assumption leaves you a little displaced. You look at the photographs a little more carefully. The walls sometimes seem to converge, or fall away from the lens.
FLUX PAVILION TOUR 2018 PATCH
Sometimes there is a window visible, a patch of sky, a branch of a tree in leaf, hinting at summer, but not enough information to work out what city it is in. In one room is a floor of polished concrete, in another, wooden parquet.
Just empty rooms inside empty apartments. And they seem to show the same thing: nothing. On superficial inspection, they all look the same. One image after another, all of empty rooms.
