What do the Modernist architectures that we come across without really seeing mean? How do we account for these forms that became so common we forgot where they came from? How do we describe them so they start to speak about what exists, about who we are? Charlotte Moth creates her own anthropology, so to speak: "that which will speak about us, which will search in us for what we have plundered for so long in others. Not the exotic, but the endoctic." There is in this work something of the "infra-ordinary" that Georges Perec was tracking down. Where"s our life? Our body? Our space? These questions go beyond the photographic field to include the movements and flickering which come from a great variety of surfaces, as they are modulated by light and colour.
