The duo behind Lake Verea’s (Francisca Rivero-Lake and Carla Verea) ongoing ‘Paparazza Moderna’ project, in which the artists create poetic portraits of single-family houses designed by renowned modernist architects, showcases 24 works including both photography and video. Each composition, which the duo refer to as ‘architectural portraits’ consists of between two and ten photographs, in which the artists approach the build of choice in a paparazzi style, unannounced and spontaneously with the goal of capturing the structures in their real, and unembellished, state.
