Retirando el cemento de la fachada 1999

"Retirando el cemento de la fachada" is a photographic work by Lara Almarcegui, taken in 1999, that captures a building facade in a state of decay and urban neglect. The image focuses on a section of a building with a faded white plaster exterior and a chipped red brick wall. This contrast is accentuated by the presence of a street sign and a no parking sign, further highlighting the urban context of the piece. Almarcegui's work often explores the intersection of urban planning, architecture, and social space, using photography as a tool to document the overlooked details of the built environment. This work exemplifies her interest in highlighting the ephemeral nature of urban development and the traces of history left behind in the physical fabric of cities.
