Zander Galerie is delighted to present Full Moon Party, the first exhibition with Mexican artist duo Lake Verea. The presentation gathers, as guests to a party, key bodies of work from their ongoing series DarkRooms, initiated in 2011.
Working with different cameras and formats, both analogue and digital, Lake Verea explore iconic works of modern architecture under conditions of darkness and reflective full moon light. Through long exposures and a practice of “slow photography,” the duo indulge in experimenting with “Deep Time” in search of intimacy and sexiness. Their images reveal atmospheres and spatial experiences that remain invisible in daylight. The works shift attention from architectural form to the subtle interplay of light, shadow, and time.
The series includes nocturnal views of iconic masterpieces such as Luis Barragán’s House-Studio in Mexico City, Philip Johnson’s Glass House and Brick House in New Canaan, Connecticut, as well as houses by Albert Frey and Richard Neutra in Palm Springs. Conceived as private refuges, these architectural landmarks are reimagined as intimate, almost cinematic spaces.
Full Moon Party reflects on perception, inwardness, solitude, silence, penumbra, and the transformative potential of light, inviting viewers to encounter architecture beyond its familiar image.
