Tobacna: Life of a Construction Pit

This project explores transiency of human intervention in space, using a stage of a halted construction as a playground.
Construction, frozen in its early stage, “fetus of a building” is subjected to natural processes, creates a unique surreal aesthetic.
To make my own little intervention and a new parallel sub-branch of development, I photographed the space and placed the prints in the central area of the pit, on the bare uncovered concrete walls which seemed an ideal exhibition spot.
After a year, the prints were disintegrating beneath the walls and their traces were barely visible. Whether the construction evolves into a building or not, after some time, it will inevitably become a ruin and similar to my photographic intervention, disappear within natures uniformity.
