Can Lis - Conversations With a House, 2014
Torben Eskerod presents a photographic portrait of renowned architect Jørn Utzon’s house Can Lis on Mallorca. In an artistic and poetic examination of the house, Eskerod captures the lyrical and spiritual qualities of this extraordinary architectural masterpiece, by focusing on presence, small details and the calmness of the house.
A text by Italo Calvino from the book Mr. Palomar on contemplation works as an introduction to Eskerod’s photographic approach, while an essay by professor in architecture at the The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Architecture in Copenhagen, Carsten Thau, sets
the architectural context for the project.
The book was published in 2014 by Kehrer Verlag
