Veronika Spierenburg’s video work compounds an application of drawing with architecture through an intentional, temporal medium. Ecke, Hoek, Hörn contains several manuscripts detailing Spierenbug’s films, which develop an easily accessible and satisfying quality of irony revolving the misuse of libraries and books. The connection between books and architecture, according to Spierenburg, is merely a matter of alternative identification; the book is effectively an architectural base for knowledge and learning, and this trait is capable of evolving at the same pace as the medium itself is developing away from its physical manifestation.
A folder of photographs related to Spierenburg’s architectural investigations is included within the publication. This collection of images exclusively surveys large, cropped photographs centered on the corners of buildings and pavement interweave with each other, accentuating the formal similarities between constructed dimensional forms and directional vectors within a two-dimensional plane. Spierenburg’s work employs drawing and crafting conventions, with an added level of structural responsibility that she elicits from collaborations with renowned architects.
