Unique photo series – 51 large-format photographs of Abu Dhabi’s chromed columns
Essay by architect and urbanism scholar George Katodrytis
Chromed Columns Abu Dhabi is an artist's book in which sculptor Sandra Peters focuses on an architectural detail in the urban environment in which she lives and works. These are chrome-mirrored columns that are ubiquitous in downtown Abu Dhabi, but also characterize the urban landscapes of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) beyond. In everyday perception, the chrome-mirrored columns on the facades of buildings remain inconspicuous, even virtually invisible; only when isolated thematically do they come into consideration as significant elements of the urban environment, which they absorb like convex mirrors.
The photographic documentation of her urban environment is an integral part of Peters' artistic practice. She often develops sculptural works from her observations. In Chromed Columns Abu Dhabi, she reverses this relationship: the columns in the urban space of Abu Dhabi are architectural details, but Sandra Peters isolates them photographically and thematically as elements that have sculptural potential. She has selected 51 photographs for her publication. These are presented as a series of full-page illustrations. Further contexts for viewing the photographs are provided by an introductory text by the artist and an essay by architect and urbanism researcher George Katodrytis.
