a+u 2025:08 Feature: Pezo von Ellrichshausen
Content
a+u’s August issue continues Mauricio Pezo and Sofía von Ellrichshausen’s first monograph published 12 years ago (a+u 2013:06, no. 513). The 20 works presented here showcase the evolution of their methodology and philosophy toward the concatenation of painting and architecture. Playing with the limits of the architectural surface through explorations in geometry, Pezo von Ellrichshausen invite the reader to consider the “architectonic picture,” not as a rigid reproduction but as a method of visualizing the self in the world amid all the world’s potentialities, where the physical eye and mind’s eye meet. Architecture, therefore, is not fixed but unpredictable, subject to the individual’s self-perception overlaid with the space and moment they occupy. Paintings by the duo allow us to enter their perception of architecture as both sensual and conceptual. (a+u)
