SPACE & ENERGY - Ferrera I

Enormous spaces, endless walkways, wide sluices, cryptic signs; all combined with miles of
cables and pipes. They form a technical universe that radiates a cool logic. A hidden world,
known only to a few and yet which has a huge influence on our day to day lives, absolutely
essential in fact. Nuclear power plants, coal-fired power stations, storage facilities for nuclear
waste and other energy systems can at the same time intimidate and fascinate a visitor.
Strange worlds, emanating a cool logic; cathedrals of industry, temples of an energy-guzzling
society.
My intention is to capture these plants on film in an artistic manner. Pure information is in the
background. The idea is more about perspectives, colours and shapes. What I am proposing
is to dissipate technology into aesthetics, at least to a certain extent. Only the caption will
remind the beholder of what he or she is contemplating: A highly complex system whereof
our modern life depends.
