FP Francesca Pompei - Imaginary Prisons

IMAGINARY PRISONS
BRONZE MEDAL of P×3 - The Prix de la Photographie Paris 2024

The Brønshøj Water Tower, designed by Ib Lunding was constructed in 1928 in the functionalist style and is a local landmark of Copenaghen, UNESCO World Capital of Architecture 2023-2025. With its inside concrete construction composed of pillars placed in circles in several layers, the building is protected along with 10 other water towers in Denmark. The spectacular interiors, articulated in the functionalist architecture remind me of the spaces in the etchings Imaginary Prisons of the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
