Event Content
Hélène Binet, a renowned architectural photographer, has been commissioned to capture the signature works of many prominent architects, including Peter Zumthor, Daniel Libeskind, and Zaha Hadid, among others. She has also held a solo exhibition at the Power Station of Art in Shanghai. In this lecture, Binet will recount how her early career was shaped by Alvin Boyarsky’s introduction to photographing John Hejduk’s architecture and Dimitri Pikionis’s work, Path, in Greece. Through her lens, she will explore: How did these photographic experiences profoundly shape her artistic career? How did the emotional impact of those moments become the burning creative spark that continues to drive her pursuit to this day?
