Lennart Durehed: The Vicinity è un libro di fotografie che offre un delizioso set di fotografie di dettagli architettonici di Lennart Durehed. Le foto di Durehed sono caratterizzate da un gioco di riflessi, superfici e composizioni considerate che crea profondità e stratificazione nelle immagini - nelle foto sembra esserci una propria architettura. L'opera è stata pubblicata dallo svedese Art and Theory.
Time and place have a central significance in Lennart Durehed’s work, manifested in his titles which mostly refer to cities or neighbourhoods and years. He often utilises reflections to great effect, a site’s surroundings mirrored by glossy facades of glass and metal. This creates visual layers and, like a montage, ambivalent spatialities arise. Buildings are seldom depicted in their entirety, but as details and segments that emphasise the picture as a picture. In other words, the composition and the interplay between surface and depth aim to accomplish something more than simple documentation. The choices made by Lennart Durehed when observing his subject on the camera’s focusing screen give the photographs the character of constructions with their own architecture.
