Battersea Power Station
By Daniel Sambraus

Architecture
DESCRIPTION:
Between 2017 and 2022, I have been fortunate to follow the progress of the development of the derelict Battersea Power Station in London, UK, into one of the most sought after places in the world. A huge piece of real estate with a monstrous, iconic building in the middle of London, it will become almost a small city within the city. But it aso became something else for a while: Europe’s biggest building site. Between March 2019 and January 2020, I have visited the site many times and I have created a series of related pictures. I have developed a mirroring technique to completely isolate certain architectural elements from their urban surroundings and made the Power Station float in space. The impression of a spaceship is quite intentional – this huge monster of a building gave an impression of being out of this world, when walking around it.
