interrogating the role of the photographer in the communication, documentation, and preservation of architecture, the exhibition puts on display baan’s extensive and geographically far-removed images, together providing a visual trip around the world in a series of perspectives. in addition, baan will send a photograph of his current location each week, allowing the exhibition to grow while viewers follow his process step by step.
