In Luis Urculo’s video project “Covers,” he whimsically recreates iconic buildings using everyday objects like books, flatware, matchboxes and cassette tapes. The project, he writes, “is an investigation about architecture as a consumption object or souvenir and its relation with the domestic non-specialized language of everyday things… The concept is based on the music covers where the original is manipulated, re-represented, revisited to create something new.” We had fun guessing which buildings were being constructed as the books — or tapes, or dishes — went up, and we have to say there was at least one stroke of waterfall-related genius that we weren’t expecting.
