In 1980 the book Judith Turner Photographs Five Architects was
internationally recognized by architects who admired and valued
Turner's unique way of seeing and photographing architecture. This
new book contains photographs taken between 1974 and 2009 of
buildings designed by 17 well-known architects including: Peter
Eisenman, Louis Kahn, Fumihiko Maki, Norman Foster, Frank Lloyd
Wright, Le Corbusier, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Alvar Aalto, Shigeru
Ban and Renzo Piano. From the beginning of her career, Turner has
used architecture as subject matter. Ambiguity has always been a
hallmark of her work where solids become voids, causing positive
and negative to reverse. The photos are small fragments of
architecture taken out of context. Through her eyes, the subject is
decomposed and recreated, assuming a new meaning. The photographs
are quiet, yet dynamic, beautifully framed compositions. Architects
have commented that she exposes elements of their work they never
imagined existed. Thus, while using architecture as subject matter
to invent her own worlds, Turner is also revealing some of its
inherent complexities.
