Two elements are of great importance within the practice of Lara Mennes ( °1982, Antwerp ) : cultural history and memory. Architecture is also a constant element. She looks at it as a way into social and personal histories, as monuments of the past in the landscape. The photographs of the buildings come to symbolize specific elements which became important within the research for the histories and memories the building carry with them. So it's not just about the building itself, but also about the personal and global connections within it, as well as post industrial items which had an influence on architectural landscapes. Through analogue photography she explores the material culture of the past, and all the history and memories it carries with them.
