LUIS MALLO PHOTOGRAPHS

The urban landscapes depicted in these large-scale photographs are partially obstructed by foreground objects. These surfaces act like veils that drape, separate, distort, and conceal in a manner that both perplexes and seduces. The surfaces, however, are never completely opaque or impenetrable. We are invited to peak into and look beyond the holes, gaps, tears, and openings in the foreground in order to view fragments of urban landscapes.
