Discover the compelling intersection of architecture and photography in Opus Incertum by Daniel Wagener. This visually stunning book showcases Wagener's exploration of urban environments, focusing on the intricate details and hidden patterns found within everyday architecture. Through a series of photographs that capture the unpredictability and texture of cityscapes, Wagener invites readers to view the built environment through a new lens, revealing the beauty and complexity often overlooked in the mundane.
Opus Incertum takes its title from the ancient Roman construction technique characterized by a seemingly random arrangement of stones. Wagener employs this concept metaphorically, applying it to his photographic practice to highlight the randomness and variability in architectural forms. The result is a striking collection of images that challenge conventional perceptions of order and design, offering a fresh perspective on the world around us.
