5 Notable Pavilions, 2003 - 2005 Video Projection. 4.20 minutes, looped Digital Print in Light Box. 56 x 147 x 15 cm

5 Notable Pavilions is a video and photo document of a large architectural maquette. The maquette is made up of scale reproductions of Modernist pavilions, such as Mies van der Rohe’s 1929 Barcelona Pavilion, and Jose Luis Sert’s 1937 Spanish Republic Pavilion. Architects have used the exhibition pavilion as a vehicle to experiment with formal and technological concerns without the demands of a serious functional program.
The video is shot in a series of four slow pans, at ground level, giving the viewer a model-scale eye-level tour, and creating a formal and tonal study of the group. Each pan is separated by a warm red “wipe”. 5 Notable Pavilions is a study of how architecture is represented through movement. It brings together several forms of representation: The film, the architectural maquette, and the pavilion itself. This video work is displayed with an adjacent back-lit print as a kind of “establishing shot” of the whole group (Photograph by Ray Anastas, Camera: Rubén Guzman, Edit: Anita Chao).
