Beyond their aesthetic power, the series of etchings and silkscreens give vision to ghostly and desolate landscapes. They are inhabited by enigmas, ruins and ultimate constructions. The search for a landscape that is never reached summons the critical filiations of architecture’s own history and echoes with the theme of the end of history.
Each “drawing” introduces the paradox of a work of architecture that little by little loses its relationship with space and becomes a duration. Or, more precisely an instant that becomes duration. The space in Brodsky’s work is a memory that is impossible to place. Is it thus possible to find ourselves in the Pantheon in Rome which has become a public space inhabited by anonymous beings? If each fragment of this landscape is recognizable, the organization that the artists offer of them makes it impossible to say where we are. Then at least each viewer can allow him or herself to situate this scene in the past or in the future.
