EDITORS COMMENTS
Santiago Pascual's monochrome photograph "Tenseness" (2017) captures the essence of architectural grandeur and the palpable tension of an old staircase from a bygone era. The image, part of Pascual's architectural series, invites viewers to explore the intricacies of this timeless structure. The photograph depicts a staircase leading up to a series of buildings, each one more imposing than the last. The stairs, worn from years of use, seem to creak under the weight of history. Each step appears to be a testament to the passage of time, as the shadows cast by the conical pillars add an air of mystery and intrigue. The buildings in the background loom large, their facades etched with the marks of time. Their monolithic presence adds to the sense of tension, as if the very weight of history is pressing down on the staircase. The contrast between the intricate details of the staircase and the massive, imposing buildings creates a sense of juxtaposition, highlighting the delicate balance between the past and the present. Pascual's use of black and white adds to the photograph's timeless quality. The lack of color draws the viewer's focus to the intricacies of the architecture, while the contrast between light and shadow adds depth and texture. The photograph is a testament to the power of architecture to evoke emotion, to transport us to another time and place. In "Tenseness," Santiago Pascual invites us to reflect on the passage of time, the weight of history, and the enduring beauty of architectural structures. The photograph is a reminder that even the most seemingly mundane elements of our world can hold profound meaning and beauty, if we take the time to look closely.
