APA 2022 Interiors Shortlist: Inside the Tower, Geothermal Power Plant, in Monterotondo Marittimo, Tuscany, Italy by photographer Fabio Sartori. Now in its tenth year, the Architectural Photography Awards committee released its 2022 shortlist of photographs on October 31st. Highlighting four photographs in each of six categories, the images overwhelmingly emphasize the ultra-modernized world that we live in and are headed further towards. Consisting of a total of six categories, the first five categories—Exteriors, Interiors, Sense of Place, Buildings in Use, and Mobile—focus on bridges as an overarching theme as interpreted by the photographers. Meanwhile, the Portfolio category focuses on transportation hubs, featuring images that focus heavily on modernist airports and train stations in Turkey and China. All of the shortlisted images will be exhibited in Lisbon, Portugal at the World Architecture Festival from November 30th - December 2nd, after which the winners of this year’s awards will be announced.

ARCHITECTURE: IQON RESIDENCES Towering above the skyline of Quito, Ecuador stands the newly completed IQON Residences building. Designed by Bjark Ingels Group (BIG)—who were hired by Uribe Schwarzkopf in 2017—the tower contrasts the traditionally low-rise buildings of the city and currently stands as the tallest building in Quito, the capital city of Ecuador. The residential building’s sleek yet brutalist design sets it apart as a work of truly modern architecture in a city that is beginning to distinguish itself as an economic capital of South America.

UESDAY READS: ALEC SOTH “As precious testimony of the common nature of our isolation, therefore, photography does not aim to eliminate loneliness and bridge the gap, erasing differences. Rather, when fully savoured, it becomes a celebration of such distance, an appreciation of the many islands around us.” Full article: https://museemagazine.com/features/tuesday-reads-alec-soth 📷 Carolina Wojtas

Drowning in Blue
We jumped in the car and headed to New Jersey. My good friend had been suffering with major depression for three months and seemed to be drowning—floating away from all her support. As a practicing psychoanalyst, I wasn’t there to treat her as a patient, but I felt desperate to find things we could do together to “cheer her up.” With our close group of friends, we stayed with my in-laws at their midcentury house with a saltwater pool. Maybe this was a break my friend needed. I hoped we’d have fun and swim in the pool—and we did, day and night. One night, we swam in the pool until dawn. This photo of her was lightness—a pure, phenomenal, weightless gift. It captures a moment that upended the heaviness. It upended a darkness broken into a thousand pieces of effervescent light. Water breaks stone. There is a sadness, a loneliness that feels endless. But no feeling is final. This moment of joy I can hold, from the trace of light brought before a lens.

FLASH FICTION: The Smoking Guy
“I smoke a cigarette whenever I think of you. Lately I’m going through three packs a day.
You linger in the shadows of my mind and I’ve fought so hard to keep you there. I knew it was foolish to let you into my life, but don’t fools love most passionately? That’s what I tried to do, not that it was any use. You weren’t looking to get attached but you played the game until you had your fill of me.
I’m walking, now, along this lonely street to forget. You peer down from every window, mocking me with your steely eyes. Say a prayer for the other broken hearts in the city, for they know nothing but the cold. One morning I will wake to find that I’m no longer haunted by the memory of you.
But for now, I smoke the memories away.” 📷 @melbreyer Read more at Museemagazine.com © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PUBLISHED BY MUSÉE. -
LARRY SULTAN’s “Pictures from Home” Series “In the midst of the Reagan era, when the institution of family had become a powerful image and political tool, he felt a strong urge “to puncture this mythology of the family and to show what happens when we are driven by images of success.”

When vulnerability and self-expression collide...
“Apart from using other people as subjects to create their own story, I often used others to tell my own stories. Using the camera as a shield between myself and the subject allowed me to keep a physical and mental distance between me and the image/emotion in front of the lens. A few months ago, I started breaking up this security and exposing myself to discomfort by intentionally creating an ongoing self-portrait series”
