Erieta Attali is a rising architectural photographer whose experience hitherto has been generally addressed to archaeology and landscape rather than to architecture; with the former arising directly out of professional commissions and the latter stemming from a personal preoccupation with the topographic, which remains her concern even though her recent photographs do not address landscape as such. In one way or another her images of built-form are traces having a topographic character, images of buildings that go beyond the buildings to evoke another dimension suspended between the built and its transformation through a ricochet of reflections lying outside the normative of vision.
