A Visual Playground

Architecture has radically changed the landscape of tourism, from the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing. Contemporary design draws people from across the globe to marvel at structures that scrape the sky and bend over bodies of water. Similarly, photographers have long been drawn to buildings – perfectly framing sharp angles, fluid forms and reflective façades. Anna Devís and Daniel Rueda (both b. 1990) met at the Universitat Politècnica de València in the School of Architecture. Now working as a collaborative duo, they tell stories that redefine the conventions of structural photography, with a delicate aesthetic inspired by the city. The images are magnetic and playful yet minimal, digging into humanity’s fascination, apprehension and appreciation of growing urban environments. Devís and Rueda build on spatial awareness as a form of performance. annandaniel.com | instagram.com/drcuerda | instagram.com/anniset
