Le Corbusier's chapel Notre-Dame-du-Haut in Ronchamp is arguably
the most famous modern religious building and a UNESCO world
heritage site. It has been photographed by millions of people,
including some of the most distinguished architectural
photographers. Austrian artist Siegrun Appelt took an entirely new
approach to look at the iconic structure, distinct from all her
famous predecessors. Appelt focuses with utter concentration on
details, creating compositions of highest sensitivity and
precision. Her images highlight the place's spatial structure and
lines, Le Corbusier's ingenious direction of light, as well as
surfaces and passages. They can be read as hints to these details
and at the same time invite a conclusion from detail to the whole.
This publication includes a dialogue between Claudia Kromrei and
Otto Kapfinger, in which they investigate the potential of
photography to show Le Corbusier's means of expression and discuss
the visualisation and perception of material and immaterial
elements of this icon of 20th-century architecture. Text in English
and German.
